I'm 6ft tall and I ride anywhere between 182/183 and 193 (only because that's the biggest ski I have or I'd ski bigger than that)
So basically my height or more...
Mind you there isn't anything wrong with skiing a ski a tad shorter than you, it just isn't as fun IMO.

wow you 5'10" now? hahaha. I used to ski at eldora on hung over days (until this year cuz of college) and see you kids around. At BHS too. you'd recognize me. and you were like 5'5". crazy. you grew a lot.

the thing about the 189 SP/SV is that they actually are a few cm longer. My 179 SP is like 183cm. 189 comes out to like 194ish.
