if you are a really strong skier (like racing background strong), and will be skiing mostly open terrain and not tight trees, then go with the 185. they can ski both very short and long, depending on how you ski them. but if you have any doubt in your skill to ski a ski that big, go with 175.

I'd go with 175. Yes the ski skis as if it was shorter with the rocker, but you'll have plenty of float with the 175.

185.. you weigh 25 pounds more than me and i ride 185 pow skis.. If you aren't gonna be spinning all over the place you'll be better off on 185..

It's hard to tell without know how and where you ski. Shorter skis are better in trees. Longer is better for straight lining and stability at high speeds. I rode a 194cm Faction 13 prototype last year and loved them... except on steep, narrow sections where I was shitting myself.

Where you riding this year?
