Post your height, size of ski, and category of ski (park, all-mountain, powder, etc.)

So whenever people ask what ski size to get, different people always offer their personal opinions. Instead of having it so subjective, if we can get enough people to post in this thread we could get an actual model of ski sizes.

I'll start.

6'2" 179 (all-mountain) 189 (powder)

Montana_Hoodrat5'7" 172cm park sticks, 175cm pow sticks. Looking to get some 180's for bigger lines though.

182 All mountain/park
185 Fatties

Bigger mountain, bigger skis.

6'2" 170lb

184 twin tip: Frontside jib/all mountain (ie. no new snow)
190 early rise: Big Mountain/sidecountry
190 twin tip: Powder/sidecountry
195 full rocker: Touring (skewed toward big lines and deep pow)

I generally ski > 185 for anything more traditionally shaped, longer on anything with significant rocker with shorter effective edge.
