OK. I know this has been asked before, but please just answer my question. I've ridden a pair of 176 scratch BC's perfectly fine. This year i was gonna get Mike Nick Pro's at 178, but i really want the Pollards. Will the 186 length really bother me here in the east coast. Thanks for ur help

I think it really depends on ur wieght and skiing ability, longer skis will be better in the east because they are better on ice/ have better edge control, but they require more skill to handle

Get the Pollards. Sicker Skis, better control. And you dont look like a pussy riding short skis. Not that 176 is short.
