179 for sure. these things can turn on a dime and when in doubt you should always go bigger

Lange Super Blaster 120 Ski Boot - Men's
December 21, 2010
I am looking for a new ski boot because my current pair of Nordica supercharger ignitions are destroying my feet. I am a patroller in colorado and I am in my boots for up to 10 hours a day. I have a really wide foot and I need something that will be comfortable all day while still delivering a solid performance. I am considering these or the Full Tilt high fives, any suggestions?

I would go with the 179. The 169 Obsethed would ski alot shorter than your previous 2 pairs of skis due to the insane amount of rocker that these things have (about the same as the hellbent) also if you are touring in them you may want them a little longer than the 169's because that does not leave that much surface area touching the snow for your skins to get a good grip on. Just my opinion but I hope that helps

the 183's should be fine for you. the amount of rocker that these boys have will make them ski alot shorter than they actually are. Especially if you are using them as your powder ski and not your daily driver then I doubt the length would be any problem for you

I am looking for a new powder ski to use in those 5 + inch days. I am 5'10 180lbs expert skier and I ski mainly Vail and Beaver Creek as well as the backcountry in those surrounding areas. My everyday ski that I work in is last years 179 obsethed and I love it. I am trying to decide between the Bent Chets in the 193 and the 189 obsethed. I really only care about how they handle on the really deep days and not so much about their all mountain performance. Any suggestions would be appreciated

what is the best way to apply water proofing to these? heat them up in the oven for a few minutes then apply? Do i need to worry about getting leather balm on the non leather parts of the glove?

I am 5'10 and 180 lbs with an athletic build. I ski mainly vail, beaver creek and a-basin. I am a very aggressive skier and do a lot of tree skiing as well as side country and the back bowls. For the last few years I was riding the 06 Seths in 179 and i recently bought this years Obsethed in a 189. I am now wondering if this is too big for me to swing around in tight trees and if should switch to the 179's? Any suggestions?
