Ohkay, so next year I will have enough money for new skis. The three that I like alot are the Gotama, in 183, The Scott p4 in 181, or the Mojo 105 in 181. The thing that has me concerned is that I'm 6'1, 150 pounds, an agressive, all around the mountain skier, and I don't know if these sizes are too short. Any opinions?

id say so. im 5 10, and 160, i ride those sizes for park. for an agressive BC ski id want something around 190+. if you are planning on BC freestyle stuff they will be alright, but for more freeride stuff, go longer

oh. i thought i read you were alot heavier.
then in that respect, youll prolly be fine with those sizes, but something around 190 would still prolly be better.

181 mojo 105 would be sick.

maybe a 186 on3p PVN ;)

I would look to get something in the 185 range if you could.

the 183 gotama skis short, IMO. At your height you could easily throw around the 190.

Yeah, lasy yeart I skied the 186 big trouble quite a bit and they were great, but i want something a tad fatter. ABout the 190 factor, these wouldn't only me my powder ski. I would want to trick on them too. But yeah, My mind is stating to open to the 190 size range.

It is an all-mtn. ski...and he's only 150 pounds, and they stiffened it up for next year. But if you really need a stiff, hard charging ski get the ANT.

The ANT 191 would be a very solid charging ski, but its not so hot for BC freestyle. What you want is the Amplid Royal Teddy. It rides similar to the Gotama but sicker. Check it out.

If you want more exclusively big mountain, go with ANT or indeed the Amplid Infrablack:http://www.lab15.co.uk/infrablack.htm
However if your budget is limited, discount these as shipping from europe is gonna cost you muchos dina...

Okay, well this basically bumping, but I decided to change my selection. Still the same ski but in the 190 range.

the 181 mojs 105 would be very sweet. For that ski, you dont really need it taller since its very an aggressive ski.

At your weight any three of those skis would be More than enough. Remember that the gots for next year are stiffer and not as twinned though. The 105's are fun, I have skied the 181 and they were a blast, really easy to throw around.
By the time you put on 30 more lbs you'll want a different ski anyways, don't hinder your progress and relative ball size by buying something you can't handle yet.

No 14 year old or 150lbs person needs ANTs.

I must say that I recommended this only based on what I have read about it. However, it seems the kind of ski that one who owns it would know a lot more about than what you could read about it.
