Ski Length Trouble

So I’m looking at getting the Dynastar M-Frees, although they come to two sizes that I’m having trouble choosing over, 182 and 192. I’d say I ski pretty aggressively, although all last year I rode on 172 so I’m pretty used to smaller skis. I weigh 180 and am 6’, any suggestions/pros n cons?

I'm also 6'0" and ski a 178 pretty aggressively, feels good but next ski I buy will be longer. prbly not above 185 though


I also have weight on you so you should feel good on the 182s, but I've never skied a longer than 178 so someone with that perspective will have to chime in

You’ll be most comfortable in a 182 considering you skied a 172 prior. If you ski lots of pow upsize to the 192s if not no point.

JITYJust google it


people on NS will actually complain that user count is down and then they'll post these teenager-ass replies to posts like this lmao


OP where are you skiing? unless you're skiing big stuff, fresh snow, and you're all about flashing huge lines, get the 182. they're basically exactly your height, that's perfect. if you wanted or needed the 192, 10cm over your head, you'd know it. 182 dog easy choice

I ski over at Alta, which definitely has a good amount of pow, but not super big lines compared to somewhere like Jackson

that's a consideration then but i still think you're going 182 easy choice. that's exactly your height which as a rule of thumb is the starting point for what ski length to consider. you'd know it if you wanted a ski ten cm over your head, man. especially coming from a 172
