I am 6'3'' and I am usually about 205, but on ski trips I eat a ton and usually go up to about 2010-2015. My size doesn't hold me back, I still shred. I am not throwing dubs, but I can hold my own in the park and slack country.

It's funny you say this because a lot of the time in summit, I feel small in the lift lines. I'm 5'9" 140 lbs and I constantly see dudes that are at least 6' and probably younger than me.

I'm 6ft 220 but you'd never know unless I was to bring it up. I've got a buddy who's shorter and probably has me by 20 lbs and he still rips. You're not alone lol

Don't know the point of this thread.

I'm 6'3" 225 pounds [down from 292.5 in June 2013]. I ski with a guy who pushes 7'.

I don't really care that I'm tall other than buying outerwear can suck.

I'm still trying to figure out a jacket for this season. =s

I'm 5'11, and I was towering over Sage when I met him. He is probably around 5'8. Not sure why he looked tall to you. Mark Abma isn't a big guy either.

6'3 190, it's so much easier for us to get speed, that's one of the advantages of being big.

I like to think of my extra size and weight as a 'turbo boost'.

Way easier to go fast as fuck than these skinny ass little midgets. ;)

True dat. worked park crew for a number of years and I alway tested the xl kickers cuz i was sure to never under shoot. 6'4 200lbs.

Does any of the other big guys out there go through skis like I do? I break edges after a couple days and don't expect a pair to last more than half a season.

Not tall at 5'8" but on the heavier side compared to other skiers at 185lbs, I think the extra weight seems to protect me though, never seem to get hurt

as a big skier i really hope my skis last longer than that.. my line blends already look beat up after half a season though.
