Ski lengths?

1.) Short skis suck, go for it
2.) The difference between a 181 and a 194 is about the the length of your phone, don't get caught up in the numbers.
3.) The kind of ski matters as much if not more than the length. A floppy pow noodle (ie. 191 k2 catamaran) will ski way easier than a burly charger in a shorter length (ie. 184 ON3P wrenegade)

Bigger ski = bigger dick

Go shorter if your skiing trees and tighter terrain or want a more playful, jibby ski. If your skiing big open bowls or want to charge lines go for the longer length, pretty simple.

hoodlumssDoes anyone on here in the 6’ range ride a 194cm ski and how is it, especially in the trees. I ride a 181cm in the park but I’m looking to get a pow setup and I have an opportunity to get a nice setup for cheap I’m just wondering if 194cm would be too big. I can get 182cm as well but was always told to lean towards a bigger ski for pow.

I prefer blades for the park. I’m 6,7.

are there any skis over 200cms except race skis these days

jps2.0are there any skis over 200cms except race skis these days

I believe Faction was making some ~204cm skis, also I may be completely off base her but I think Moment was making a 200+cm Super Commander...it may just be that they have the ability to do so if desired, heard on a blister podcast or something.

OP: how much do you weigh? If you're anything but extremely light I think 194 would be the way to go for a pow ski.

I’m 6’3” and have a pair of 191 Kartels 108. I usually ride a 184 if I’m skiing in the park/on piste. The length isn’t too much of an issue in the trees as long as they aren’t super tight but I can’t really ski super tight trees anyways lol

I'm about 5'11 and spent most of last season on a pair of 194 D-Senders, and never felt like the length was unmanageable. I couldn't imagine skiing a 182 for my big-mtn/pow ski.

You missing to mention a few factors, like what kind of terrain are you looking at? For treeskiiing how stiff they are etc matters, and how open/closed the trees are

I tried rideing my mantra 102, 191cm in tight trees/petite trenches, so tight I cannot put the skies sideways to stop, that ski is so stiff, and the natural radius is 23-24meters, + they are heavy, eventhough you can smear on slope, you cannot that well in powder, its probably the worst tight treeski I ever tried. But for going big and fast its just an amazing ski.

Then you have like the enforcer 104, 110 etc, it smears! it skis short due to rocker profile super treeski, some say its heavy, but when your used to heavy long ski, supereasy to throw around. Ive ran the 186, 104, and own the 185 110, Its my tight treeski, you definetly loose stability when going fast on crud, but decent. Looking to get the new models in 191.

I own skis from 170 to 205cm,
