hey NS,

I am at a life dilemma here, my fischer ranger108tis finally arrived today and i couldnt be more stoked only issue is that they sent me a size to large. now normally this wouldnt be an issue, i would just send it back to fischer and get the correct size no problemo, but when i was ordering them i was super conflicted over which ones to get. the 188 or the 182. seeing as its quite a burly ski i pussed out and went with the 182, but since they sent me the 188 the conflict has re-arisen. ive asked around the shop i worked at and have received an almost perfect 50-50 in terms of switch or stay.

tldr: i got sent the wrong size fischer ranger 108 ti, 188 instead of 182 debating on keeping the 188 or nah.

Because they have some rocker in them your edge that your actually skiing is way smaller compared to a ski that is a full cambered one so the 188 should be fine

How aggressively do you ski? What do you want the ski for/how do you want it to perform? It's almost impossible to give you any advice without knowing these things.

i want these essentially only to charge, i have a quiver and these would be my go big and fast or go home skis. i want them to hold up at big speed as sometimes my jeffery 114s just couldnt handle what i was doing

i ski very very aggressively i have some race training and have been skiing since i started walking

Keep the 188s.

Fwiw, I'm 5'11/195 and I looked into the 188 Ranger as well.

Then wouldn't you want the bigger, more stable ski?

If you ski as aggressively as you say you do, this really shouldn't even be a debate.

yeah it wouldn't be but i want the ski to be able to perform at least moderately in trees ar other conditions and with a 188 ski it might be a little to much length.

i think i am going to keep them tho

Meh, you're a good skier, you'll figure it out. Definitely a good call to keep them, I think.
