Skis similar to k2 poacher width and flex, but longer?
i mean going down 4cm isnt going to affect your skiing to much but do whatever u think is right tbh its your skis that your going to be riding so dont waist your money on skis that ur not going to continue to ride for accouple of years

I ride mordecai 193s atm and I feel they fit me perfectly, I like to ride longer skis, also they look a lot fucking sicker.
I'd go for the 184 poachers. Because of all of the rocker in the Mordecai what you have on the snow feels quite shorter than the ski really is. going a bit shorter for a playful park/all mountain ski should be no problem, the purpose of it isn't to charge big lines. I'm the same height as you, I ski a 190 pow/all mountain ski.. but when I whip out the skinnier sticks I go down to a 178. The lack of stability is a bit to get used to at first but I find the weight savings and easier rotation to make skiing a ski that short super fun, the just bend to my will.
Theres a reason why ski companies stop at shorter lengths on mid waist park skis.
I have 184 shreditor 92s, and upgraded to 188 PB&Js this season. The difference in length isnt that much, but the Moments feel bigger. K2 is heavier but softer. Moments feel significantly more stable.
