What's the next size up? Where are you skiing mostly? Often people will size up pow skis for more float but if you're skiing a lot of tight trees you might want to go shorter.

Also 106 isn't too wide for a pow ski...pretty everyday kind of width where I am. What lead you to choose the fx 106?

only reason to ever size down is tight trees.

I have a few 185/186 myself for tight trees, but 190+ for everything else.
