Looking for a size recommendation ... I am 5 10, 190 - 200lbs. I ski in bounds on a 178s. I would be looking to use these almost exclusively for for training (lite - I am not hard core) .. up and down Millcreek canyon (if you are familiar with the SLC area). Would I go for 180s or 190s? Thanks in advance.

Really depends on exactly how you are using them and the snow conditions. Based on weight and height the 190's are the ones to go with, but that's assuming using them how the manufacture intended in average conditions. If you break trail or want to go faster with less effort(more glide) go with 190's. If you go off into the trees or down hills over 15 degrees where you need to make turns and need the extra maneuverability. Or if you want the kick section to grip better in packed conditions go with the 180's.
