i'm sure the pros just use what fits them. so just use what fits you. the shorter team riders probably use the 175, and the larger ones probably use the 182. i dunno. fuck it.

yeah obviously, what im trying to find out is if pros (people who know what theyre doin when it comes to ski lengths) who are a comparable height and weight to myself (6'2 160 pounds) are using 175s or 182s - in other words, i cant decide what size ski to get...

yep... im riding the 175 tm's..and im like 5'11' 190, and i wish i had the 182s for a little bit extra length, but I got a real good deal on the 175s when the time was right,... but i also ride 180 candides and the 175s tm's are very very close to the size of the candides
