Replying to Powder skis too short (and other questions)
Yes, yes, I know, another ski length question. But the amount of people who recommend against skis that are too short/hate on them has me questioning whether I need to upgrade.
I'm 6'3 (but only 175lbs) and last year I got a pair of powder skis, 2018 JJ 2.0 Zeros @ 185cm. I knew this was short, but it was a sweet deal so I jumped on it. I had a blast on them, super fun ski, but with me being so tall/with the heavy rocker am I missing out on something with the short ski? Would weight not be more of a factor than height? Is the 6-10cm such a big difference if I were to get the biggest ski in other comparable models (Bent chetler, other JJs etc.)?
I'm an east coaster, so this is my first pair of wide skis, but moving out west this year and want to throw some shifts on them for touring. I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time and money and if I just don't know about how much better my life would be with a larger ski.
