dude, if you are 6'1", you should be considering the 179 pe and the 182 moship.

the moship is softer and will be less stable if you ski on ice alot. the pe will be much more stable in varied conditions.

either ski will be fine in park, it just comes down to where you will be spending most of your time outside the park. if its in pow or softer snow, the moship is the best choice. if it is on ice and varied condition hardpack, the pe is the better choice

I have last years motherships and this years fugis, and i like the motherships 10x better, they are soft and light and great on the groomers and the powder, i only use my fujis on park and groomer days bc they are just heavy and klanky. id deff go w/ the motherships u wont regret it

i think you're just weak. there's no way a pair of skis weighs 30-40 lbs. try weighing them

bruises on your shoulder? i dont know about that. The reactors are heavy, but I don't really feel it when the skis are on my feet. It's all underfoot weight.

^Reactors are not worth the extra $70, get p12's.

If you plan to, or have more than one pair on line skis, get the reactors. If not, get p12's.

the reason i got the reactors is bc i have multiple pairs of skiis, and i travel a shit load, its alot easier to pack 2 pairs of skiis when u only have bindings on one pair. i have 912s on my motherships but when i get my next pair of skiis im planning on taking those bindings off and im going to use them on my everyday ski and have the line bindings for my fujis and my motherships
