not to big at all. im just a hair shorter and the same weight and have 179 ll2's and they could def be longer. as for binders, everyone is going to say fks so i will be different and say freeski2 120xl.

It skis short. Im 6 foot 170 pounds and i think its perfect for jibbin, mounted center and i can still have a hard time sinking the tips on purpose
