K2 Reckoner 177 or 184?

Hey, standard ski sizing question. Anyone got any rec on Reckoner KF 114 sizing? I am an advanced skier going to do a season in Japan. I am 5'10" and 155 pounds/70kg. I already have Salomon departs in a 180cm that I have not used yet!

Also would be awesome if anybody has used both the Reckoner KF 114 and the Reckoner 124 and has a comparison.

Cheeeeers

Yeah, I’m not too stressed about durability tbh, I know they aren’t going to be 1/3rd as bombproof as my poachers

Cheers mate. Tossing up between Niseko, Hakuba or Madarao. I have been around Japan and just scoping out what job looks the best. Are you looking at doing the season this year?

You may be surprised this year. Much of the qualities of the poachers were incorporated into the reckoner collection this year. Main focus for the redesign was durability!

also…get the 184!

Looooots of prototypes with final tops on them. Different flex', shapes, mount points. The engineering crew and karl really took their time making sure these things were dialed.
