Size question. I'm on 194 2010 Gotamas and have been on 190 gotamas before that. I'm looking at the Kuro for the deep and thick days in Tahoe. Do I go 195, or 185 for quicker turning in trees etc. How "short" do they ski?

I am 5'11" 180lbs with the 185. I agree they do feel way shorter with the rocker. I would probably agree to go with the 195 unless you are small. Have fun with em they are ownage!

I just switched to the 195 and have been loving it. It is a very aggresive ski, but with the rocker it is not at all hard to make smaller, tighter turns when needed. It seems to me that the 195 is a little better on the hardpack as well, not that it really matters with this ski. If you have been enjoying the 194 gotama, you should probably go with the 195. It just demands to skied very forward, or it will throw you around.
