Hi, Do you have any idea how much the S3 BC weights in size 168 and/or 177?
Also, what size do you recommend for intermediate/advanced 71kg/182 cm skier that prefers a responsive and fun ski over stability at very high speed?
Thanks, Hlynur

my digi scale shows 4200g for the 186cm, which is fairly typical most 100mm waist skis in the 180-183cm range. Because of the light weight and rocker, I suggest you ski the 177 or 186cm S3s. The 186cm run short for their size and are comparable in length to most 183cm skis. Because of the light weight and rocker, you can ski these a little longer than a traditional fat ski. Go too short and you'll sacrifice high speed stability and edge grip on hard snow. I'm the same size as you and found the 178cm scratch brigades (98mm waist) too short in choppy snow and deep powder, so I'm picking up a set of the S3's in 186cm.
