Looking for some feedback, I'm 6'3 200 and I interested in the Nordica Bushywayne ski. My huge concern is it only comes in 185. Being its 157-127-146 will this be enough length for me to keep me afloat without having to mach speeds? Thanks.

hell no dude. you're 6'3" 200 lbs. if i'm not mistaken that ski is a wide pow ski with a ton of rocker. it'll ski very short. i mean, it would work but i don't think it'll be ideal.

the bushwayne is a pretty unique ski and really is a backcountry pow ski that can handle crazy pillow lines and pow kickers. if thats what you are doing, yes.

if you are on piste more than 10% of the time, dont get it and look to something else.

Well, I'm in Utah and will use the ski for 80% inbounds and 20% backcountry pillow lines. Trees and open bowls mostly.

i think the helldorado is the ski for you. 113 under waist and you can get it in a 193 if youd like. im not sure you need the 157 tip dimension.
