I'm not sure what size i'd need. I've been learning to ski the past couple seasons (i'm a snowboarder of about 15 years) and have a pair of G3 Ticket skis right now. They work pretty good on groomer and in a little powder, but i don't feel like they float enough.
These are a bunch wider but i'm not sure how long i should get. I'm 6'0" and 210 lbs. I ride wide boards and like a 158-164.

Do shorter but wider skis work better than long skinny ones? It would seem like that would be the way to go, because you would still get good float, and not have to wrangle enormously long skis through the trees.

I would go with the 183 all the way. it may be a bit big at first but as you get your ski legs you will be happy with it! it will be much stabler at high speeds and give you the float you will learn to demand.
