I think its a bad idea. If its gonna take you a few years to get that tall, you’re better off buying a ski that accommodates your height right now. A couple years is plenty of time to save money for new skis and than you don’t need to make a sacrifice now by riding skis that you wont enjoy.


Unless ur gonna be ripping big mountain pow of them maybe but otherwise i’d say no. Are you used to riding big skis?

I'm 6'2 and ride a 188 bent 110, but that is a very rockered ski so it will ski shorter, if you are getting jeffery's size up.

I’m 5.11 and have a pair of 191 4frnt devastators (rockered) that are SUPER fun. Epic for going fast, skiing pow, and spring groomers. Definitely heavy for tricks but riding longer skis for big mountain stuff is dope.

I am 6'0 230 pounds and was debating on getting a 186 or 191 Jeff 110. I ended up going with the 191, mounted at +1 from recommended and they have been amazing. Super stable and they absolutely blast through chop. I am coming from a 186 Magnus 102 mounted dead center, and there was almost no adjustment period for me.

If you were done growing, I would say get the 186. However given that you will keep growing, I would recommend getting the 191. They might feel a tad long at first, but you will get used to it within a day or two of riding.

I came very close to purchasing a set of 204 candide 3.0s today at a ski shop. No idea how I managed to walk out of the store without them
