So i'm pretty set on getting some SFB's for this season and this will be my only ski, im 6ft2 and like 74kg so basically the two greater sizes 184's or the 190's, what you guys think? im leaning towards the 184's as it will be my only ski so looking for the versatility and reasons why I should go 190?

And then onto bindings, what you guys think?
I can get a deal that comes with Marker griffon's or would I be best spending a little more and getting something else?

comment away and +K for any help, cheers.

if you want all-mountain capabilities go for the 184s. As for the griffons, I have them and haven't had any problems. They're plastic so they might not be the most durable, but for the price they get the job done well

They are a great ski, good choice. I agree with above that 184's would be a good choice for all mtn. It also depends if you are used to longer or shorter skis. So keep in mind they ski a little short. I have no experience with marker bindings so can't be any help there. I use the salmon Sth driver on mine which is a great binding IMO

I am a little taller than 6' and ride the 184's and love them for all mountain. They feel perfect length in the trees so if you like doing that sort of thing I would point you towards 184. As for bindings, I put the fks180 on mine and love them. I do have Marker Griffons on my atomic punx and haven't had any issues. I would say go for the fks180 if you have the cash as they are great bindings.

Both 184cm recommendations pretty much nailed it for you.  Unless you planned on tackling huge lines in above the treeline, stick with the 184cm.  If you need a pair and want a package price, let us know and we'll take care of you.
