hey im 6' 2" 165lbs. im looking for a ski that is all mtn but i can also ride in the park. i have experience racing so definitely enjoy ripping down groomers, but prefer to spend most of my time on moguls, in the trees, or in the park. im from the midwest but i have been going out to colorado at least once for the past few years.

I think the dynastar 6th sense distorters would be good for me but i am trying to decide between the 173 or 179? any suggestions and why?

179 might even be too short for you. let alone 173

find some 185's. trust me.

to compare, I am 5'7" 150lbs and I ride 175cm skis. I love them.

im 5'10" 175 lbs and i had the 185s and loved them, the 179s would probably work, but i'd recommend the 85s

I'm 6'2" as well. My park skis are 183 cm and they're definitely not too long at all.

both would be way too short for you, assuming youre proficient at skiing (and you said you raced so..)
