K2 Apache Coomba Alpine Ski

March 30, 2009

The Coombas run 3 cm longer than the stated length, so you are looking at more of a 191. They also have a completely flat tail, so they will ski true to length (unlike twin tips). You don't "burn down groomers or make GS turns" where a longer ski makes sense. But you like "quick turns in narrow chutes or skiing bumps" where a shorter length makes more sense. With your skiing preference and weighing 170lbs it sounds like the 181s or possibly even 174s are a better fit.

Excellent Ski Pants

The North Face Freedom Insulated Pant - Men's

The North Face Freedom Insulated Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 20, 2009

The loose cut fit allows for freedom of movement while skiing. There is no binding or riding up. These pants are extremely warm. The zipper thigh vents work great on warmer days. They are definitely very cool looking. I agree with other reviewers that they tend to run long in the leg and big in the waist. If you are in between sizes, go with the smaller one.
