I’m about 6’4 205 and in the rockys. I want the volkl revolts in 188 because they just look sick. I’ve heard the saying you should try around your height in length, my height is 193 cm.

I don’t think it’d be to long for someone your size. You may want to go with revolt 95 or 104 something a bit wider for more stability also

I’ve skied the 188 Revolt 104 in the park and I’m only 5’11, it’s a light ski and it has a low swing weight so you’d be more than fine! Fire ass ski

Yup. It’s also almost flat cambered, given how little camber and how much tip/tail rocker there actually is. Super quick edge to edge, 188 would be fire for you OP

Im 5'9 160lbs and my park ski was a 185cm Chronic for a couple seasons, never felt like they were too long especially if you centre mount. You will be fine with 188cm, hell if they had a size bigger id say go for that!
