Sorry spamming you guys with the threads recently.

Thinking of going for the Declivity 102, just tossing up length. 5'11", 84kg (185lb). Thinking the 180 just for something a bit quicker and easier to flick around, but not sure if I should bump up to the 188 for a bit more stability and maybe a bit more float. Currently ski a 183 Kartel 96 for reference which I like.

Keen to hear your thoughts

they ski really strong and stable anyway so the 188 might feel really quit planky n almost too much ski if your used to the 183.

however saying that, the 180 size might then be a little tooo small and flicky

go 188. While the 102 is a stiffer charging all mtn ski, I wouldn't class it in that 2x4 type of category as it retains a little bit of playfulness.

Keep in mind ON3Ps run long. So your 183 Kartel would measure 185/186 in most other brands. I'd go 188 on the declivity
