K2 Hellbent Alpine Ski
April 2, 2009
No, it won't. Since it is rockered the ski will ski a lot shorter than 179. I bought a pair of 191 scott p4's thinking they would probably be to big for me and they turned out perfect. I am also 6' 3" and weigh 190. If I were you I would try and demo them. Also it would be helpful if you posted your skiing ability because I know a couple of years ago I couldn't have handled something as big as the 191.

Fischer Addict Pro Alpine Ski
February 25, 2009
The binding I personally use and recommend for park riding would be the Marker Jester or Griffon (Griffon if you're a lighter rider). They're extremely lightweight and allow for great flex on the ski. Also they extremely durable and bombproof, I have them on 3 different skis and they never let me down, even on my big-mountain ski.The PX-12 is a solid option as well, I'm just personally not a huge fan of Look/Rossi or Salomon bindings.I am a bigger fan of look(dynastar, rossi) bindings over the any other because I have never had a problem popping out, with your weight you need to get some look px-12's and crank them up to 10 and you will be set. I have my marker jesters at 11 on my scott P4's (107 underwaist) and have poped out a couple times and have been lucky that I havent gotten hurt.

DAKINE Heli Pro 16L Backpack - 1000cu in

There's a difference of 4L. But the weight difference is negligible. Not to mention the bigger size is made for bigger people, I think.

DAKINE Heli Pro 16L Backpack - 1000cu in
January 21, 2009
Pretty wide. What kind of skis are you thinking about throwing back there? My scott p4's fit back there and they have a 131 tail and fit in fine, with both of them together sliding in, perhaps a little tough but still plenty of leeweigh. The biggest problem I could foresee would be if you have a twin tip rockerd' ski and try and put them in both at once. I don't think you would have a problem if you slid one in then the other because the combination of the rocker and huge tails could perhaps create a problem. But again slide them in singly and you should be fine, no to mention that you should get the 20L this pack is amazing, enjoy it, it rocks balls!

Joystick Spicolli Ski Pole
January 20, 2009
Yeah they are better, a lot stiffer as well. All the k2 poles that I have tried out are flimsy at crap. This pole imo is the only thing that is compairable to scotts. Since you are getting park poles get the smallest size available.

Scott P4 Alpine Ski
December 12, 2008
Just go back a few cm.The reason you are seeing the first number out of place is because the recommended mounting position is something like 6 cm back. I found the core center and put mine 2 cm back from exact center of ski. the plus 5 would be pretty close to that if the person was going from the recommended mounting point.
