Hey so this is for Jamey Parks or anyone else who has skied the 190 Czar. I've skied the 182 and really liked them but I want more length especially if they are going to be my pow ski. So just looking for some info or a review on how they ski and maybe a comparison between the 182 and 190.
Cheers

The 190's are 3 mm wider than the 182's, i.e. 114 mm underfoot. I had a pair of each at home and used calipers to measure them. Strangely, the 190's had the dimensions misprinted on them as 131/111/121, i.e. the dimensions of the 182's(all sizes have the dimensions printed on them ). But, again, I used digital calipers to measure them and compare the 182's to the 190's, and the 190s were 3 mm wider.

the 190 is actually not fatter under foot, but holds the same 111mm of girth. so again very similar to the 182, very comfortable at speed, and holds a really good edge.

Definitely does. That was exactly what I wanted to hear, that it was basically very similar to the 182 just bigger. How's it ski on the grom? I know the 182 handled it well but with the longer side cut and being slightly fatter under foot I'm curious. Thanks a lot.

Hey Henry, The 190 are pretty badass. They are the same width as the 182, so they ski very similar... just longer. Salomon made the 190 in response to people like you and me. So they have the extra length, and with that comes increased stability and float (more ski in front of you). Let me know if that helps or if you have any other questions.
