106 Charges! Get the 188 if you're in between the 180 or 188. You'll get used to the slight extra length.

Super fun on jumps, width shouldn't be a problem. Just a bigger ski in general.

If you're trying to ski mostly park then the 96 might be the move. But for all mountain + park laps here and there I love my 106's.

I drilled at recommended which i believe is back -2.5. If I didn't already have a centered park ski I would've considered true center. I believe Sammy C skis em at the bolts.

That said, -2.5 is money and not that far back. I still rip em through the park no problem, hardly notice the extra swing weight in the tips but it's there.

You'd be happy with -2.. Slightly back accounts for the extra rocker in the tip so it's more of a core center than anything.

Have Fun!

I got the 106 Ltd ti in a 188 , and just sliced them for the first time at resort. This ski fucking charges ! Very impressed . These are definitely still sticks but if your looking for something that handle and dish out some power I would highly recommend the ti ones with the metal . They don’t have very many and there 100 bucks more, but they are so worth it if you ski more all mountain.
