Skis for a tall guy

Sup I am around 6’4 or 195cm tall and it’s a struggle to find skis that are that 190cm+ length. I was going to get the Icelandic nomad in a 191 but they stopped making them and I’m not sure if any other brands are making them that long these days. Seems like jet skis make their phantom in a 190 though they’re out of stock. Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks guys

ON3P has a 191 in the Jeffrey line. Might be able to custom order some long mangos, but even as a tall guy idk if you need over 186 for the park.

Moment does the Wildcat lineup in 190, as well as a 196 in the 116 width.

Yeah dawg I am also tall (6’3”) always have trouble.

189 wides feel pretty solid, my daily are 191 Jefferey’s. 102 width and mounted a bit forward is sick for park/all mountain.

I also have a pair of 188 bibbys which ski great and 189 hellbents.

190+ is a bit limited for sure, but more directional ski brands make longer sticks too. Black crow animas come in 194 I think and QST blanks as well are longer around 192

The 190 and 196 wildcats are 118’s. Not 116

they do make both deathwish in 190 as well as all the other wildcats 108 and 101. They do the Countach 110 in 194. Banana in 193. Ghost train 194 and comis 192.

2 others mentioned it as well but I’m 6’4 on the 191 Jeffrey 100s. I ride them literally everywhere and they’re pretty bulletproof. Highly recommend
