Dynastar Big Troubles?

Right now I have the Scratch BC WRS 185 mounted at standard and love them for deep days and skiing lines, but they aren't that great a landing switch in the bc b/c they are mounted a little to far forward. I also need a new park ski. Would the big troubles be good for hitting bc jumps and skiing in the park? If so should i go with the 186 or 176?

big troubles shouldn't be a problem in the park or bc cause of the really big tail. i've seen some guys shred the big troubles in the park no problem and def go with 186

the 186 center mounted would be super sick for bc booters and park shralping, they have a really dope flex that is like stiffish and lets you mach through anything

i think you will regret going to a smaller size if you can handle your scratchs good now then a 186 is a given and it will make you feel more comfortable on both pair
10 cm isnt that big of a deal but in the end bigger is better!
