Are the K2 Backside skis also true to size this year?

They used to measure the top of the ski instead of the bottom of the ski, which meant that a 179 was more like a 183 and a 189 was more like a 195...but this year they changed it up and a 179 is about a 179 or 180 and a 189 is more like a 189 or 190.
