soo i have a somewhat long question and hoping someone can help. I bought this years S6 in the 174 and hit up vail and winter park mostly. I am 5'9'' and weigh around 168. I love these skis on hard pack and light powder but i was fighting all day when there was over a foot of snow. I would consider myself a good skier love hittin cliffs anything up to around 30 feet and tight trees. I am moving to lake tahoe next year and really want to get something better in the powder. I love rossi and have skiied them for several years so naturally i am looking at the S7. I feel somewhat conflicted on sizing, i want to ge the 188 but im just not sure if that might be too big. I am also considering the salomon czar in the 181 or 82 i think. Any advice would be appreciated

You could go either way but my advice is 188. There is a lot of ski off the ground, its a quick turner and it is not a difficult ski to ski. I'm 6' 210 lbs and after trying both the "regular 7" at 188 and the Super 7 at 195 I went with the Super. For a ski that performs as well as it does (and it really, really does) it is very user friendly. And if you really didn't like the longer length you could unload them in a minute. And there is no comparison between the Czar and the 7; if you want a lively, quick turning but ready to bomb pow ski, that's the 7. The Czar is much less nimble. Just watch how many more firms show up with shapes like the 7 in the next few seasons.
