By Ranked #1266 - Alpine Fat Skis January 20, 2010

I'm a teleskier. 5'9", 165lbs. i ski out west, whistler and backcountry. i'm considering one of the new fun shape skis--s7, shogun and others. Typically, on piste, i ski steeps and bumps, chopped pow and mank with some hardpack (west coast ice). Also need to consider weight for uphill skinning.

What ski and length would you recommend?

I agree on the size but I wouldn't consider the shogun a "fun shape" at all. There is practically nothing in common between it and the s7.

I think the 182 would be perfect... saves a little weight and will still perform for everything you require.
