For reference I am 5’9” 150 lbs strong and advanced skier. It was a bluebird day at Kirkwood with good coverage still from the record-breaking dump we had.

I believe you were on the 178s?

I'm near 200 and 6'2" and leaning 188.

Thoughts greatly appreciated!

Sorry for the slow response. I was on the 178s and I am somewhere between 5’8” - 5’9” and 145lbs. Still I find them to be the easiest skis out there. Definitely pass this site’s Steadfast Rule as mentioned repeatedly in the reviews (https://www.skitalk.com/ams/the-steadfast-rule.106/).

Where I really appreciated them last season was when we lucked out on an epic powder week at Bachelor.

My skis and my son’s for comparison purposes. These were filmed on the same day.

That second one looks like a powder day I had at Northstar!
