I'm about 6'3/6'4 and 185-190lbs, I'm getting one ski for everything in Whistler so it'll be a 189 Pistol/Vicious or 193 Mojo 90 most likely, possibly a 187 Chronic Wide. Any shorter and they'll suck in the powder.

does anyone know anything about the 9thward firstblood. Its a park ski right? I just saw it in the new freeskier and it comes in 190, which is huge but im 6'4" so ive been looking for a really long park ski and thats the biggest ive found. But no where in the article does it say what its designed for.





I ski at the crappiest hill ever...

i got my hands on a pair of the big made'ns. i figure ill be riding them exclusivley... except maybe for metal grinding expeditions. then ill use my older pistols of the same length. but agian, im pretty big, so maybe its all proportional.

you should be fine especially if you're more aggressive. To balance things out stick to the softer half of your ski choices because you're only 120 lbs you'll be able to wrk the ski easier (sure for all you retards, Yes, he Could work a stiff ski if he was technically good and wanted to work it, but persoannly I like just easy cruising most of the time). the line MN 178s you have seem like they'd be decent. Im 510 and 176's feel like little weapons (as gay as that just sounded), especially when I go back to them from my 182 mo ships.

fuck that you can ride anything anywhere and if your over 5'8 you shouldnt be riding anything less than 175. longer skis are way better in the park and if you think "you wont be able to spin fast" shut the fuck up thats all bull shit.

get whatever you want, man. i'm 5'9", 150lbs and take my 189 SPs in the park from time to time, but i also have 179 PEs and 179 SVs... it really depends on what you're feeling. the SPs have never seen a rail and the SVs won't either, but i don't think i'd have any problems spinning off rails with a 189. just mount further forward and it will even out the swing weight.

189 is definatly not too big depending on the sidecuts, for park,
i am 186cm and i am getting the karma^s in 185, which is perfect, i could have 189 if it existed for park skis.
