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?
