Dynafit Stoke Ski

Can anybody make a length recommendation? I'm a little under...

By Ranked #739 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis April 2, 2010

Can anybody make a length recommendation? I'm a little under 6' and a little over 140. I feel like with the rocker and reasonably short radius, plus what I assume is a fairly soft flex, I should be on the 182s, but as skinny as I am, I'm hesitant to go for the longest length of any ski. Also, do Dynafits measure pretty true to size?

Jack..are we really calling this a "rockered" ski, I think the profile looks more like a lttle bot of early or extra rise, but thats about it...At least that what Greg Hill says...

I am 6'0 170 pounds and just spent 8 days touring on the 182 stoke. I thought they would be too short but they where perfect. The stoke is not soft and can ski like a big mountain ski. I did find the length to be an issue in the air but I just need time to get used to the short tails. I also might try mounting the bindings a little forward and see how that works.

Definitely go long. 182 will be great. With rockered skis, you can go longer. Dynafits run true, and aren't going to be longer than you think. Go for long skis. Early rise and rocker mean that you can finally get the sticks you need to land big drops and float the deep snow. Longer is better.
