If i'm about 5'9 and weight about 185, would 186 EPs be too much of a ski for me???

I'm a similar size to you and my everyday ski is a 189 Seth Vicious, so I would say no.

They are pretty light and mounted pretty far foward, so you should be able to handle the length well.

They are suppose to be sick skis, so go for them.

no. they will be fine. i skied them last season.

my only thing would be that you will want something wider. only 86mm underfoot.

the mo ships this year come with the six pack so you can mount them more forward.

also, they're only a 90 waist so it's not that much wider.

Are you using Reactors? Cuz if not, the inserts don't matter at all and you can mount pretty much wherever you want.

ok, its annoying how lots of pro models only come in one size which is usually really small or really big.
