Soul 7 HD 188 to Sender 106 Ti+ 187 vs 194

Hi,
I am an expert skier who is 165lbs and 5’11”. I currently ski 2017 Soul 7 HDs in 188 cm and am looking to get the Sender 106 and wondering if you all have suggestions as to whether I should go for the 187 or 194cm. I can ski anything on the mountain, my home mountain is currently Heavenly where I often ski Killebrew and Mott, trees, and very steep terrain. I enjoy powder but also want a quiver of one ski that can handle any conditions. I had no problem initiating turns on my 188 Soul 7s, even in trees at high speeds, but am worried 194 would be too much ski even for a strong skier at my height/weight who likes high speeds and long skis. Any suggestions as to the size for senders would be much appreciated!

The Sender 106 ti is a pretty strong ski, the Soul 7 was not. These are two very different skis and if you have the ability to demo them before purchasing I would recommend doing so. This has come up many times in the shop where someone had Souls and wanted the "new" version, they bought a sender and were disappointed with how much more demanding it is. The Sender is a fantastic ski, but it is not a loose, pivoty ski like the Soul. If you are a directional skier with good technique the Sender is a good choice for a quiver of one.
As for size, my coworker has the 187, and it actually measures 187, so it's pretty true to length.

Fuck off bot.
On the plus side this bot has pretty good grammar/diction. Are Aussie bots that good now?
All times are Eastern (-4)
