I’m looking to buy 2022 revolt 104 and need to decide between 180 and 188.

I am about 6’ and 200 lbs, I’m getting this ski to be an all mountain ripper to take down moguls, steeps, trees, and want it to be real playful going big on side hits and larger jumps and just playing/jibbing all around the mountain. I’m leaning more towards 180 so they are a little more nimble. Is there any reason I should go to 188? I currently ski on magnus 102 at 179 cm I believe and I’m a big fan of the size. Thanks!

at your size the 188s should be fine for just about anything

Went through the same thing when i was deciding between the two. For what I was looking to use them for I went with the 180s and am happy, Keep in mind it is not a high speed charger so I think either size will get a little sketchy at higher speeds. That said It is such a fun easy ski to ski that either size would work. I think if you are happy on your current 179s then go with 180s

the magnus 179 is actually more like 183 because 3ps are measured after theyre pressed so its really closer to in between the 180 and 188. i would 100% go with 188s

Yeah, I get it. I have three pairs of ON3Ps. My only point is with that ski the OP wouldn’t go wrong with either…
