Gotama 2010 194's.
Any one here have a comparison on the 186 vs 194.
I am a ex-racer. 6ft 180lbs. Every day ski is a 178 nordica top fuel. My icy hard pack ski is a Atomic Race SL 12. Love them both.Looking for a ski to rip long GS turns in powder and crud.
I've demoed the 186. Very manuverable, but wabbly tips on trashed out groomers at the end of the day.. I like the 184 Montra but they ski to close to the Nordica's. I Wonder how much more stable the 194 is and how much more demanding. Don't want to totally have to work the skis in the trees. I haven't seen any reviews on the 194.
I've skied the dynaster xxl in a 191 didn't like I much. Felt panky with too little sidecut for my taste. Other ski recommendations also acceptable.
Going to Revelstolke for lift and heli skiing in March. Would like something before then.
Thanks

Dude, I'm 6' 190. Used to race. Bought the 186's, cause I was skiing almost all trees and BC with it. It's stout, but in wide open areas, a little more ski would be great. I'd say get the 190. For your size and skill level, a little more meat means more float and more speed in the open areas. It's gonna take more effort to move around in the tight stuff though.

I think you should get the 186. I am skiing that length and they are plenty long and I'm the same hight and wheight. They are very stable.
