im 6'1 and weigh around 150lbs. ski raced since i was 3 until i was 15 (16 now). mainly going to be using the ski for resort pow days over 20cms of snow (i have some kung fujas for anything less) but will get in probably up to 15 days of touring on them with my parents. thoughts? concerns?

At 6'1" you could size up to the 196 quite comfortably.

thx, i was on the fence on whether or not to size up. also trying to decide on running a pair of quiver killers or marker barons?

Hey man,

Im sitting at 6'3 180 and i comfortably ride the 186's pretty damn hard in my opinion. By no means will you feel like you're overpowering the 186's. I've never felt like the 186's weren't enough.

Just quiver kill them with a pair of alpine binders and a more dedicated touring binding than barons. I'd stay away from Barons, I skied both inbounds and in the bc on them, and it took me ~25 days to break them.
