i'm 160lbs, live on the east coast and i've been on the 186 for a season. because of all the rocker its actually more like a 170cm ski on hard snow. i think you would be crazy to get anything shorter than 186. its a very nimble ski, best tree ski i've ever owned and when there's fresh snow, the entire 186cm running length contacts the snow so you get lots of float. its like having two skis in one. love em, but get the 186's for sure.

178. If it weren't a twintip or a soft ski I would say shorter. If you were skiing primarily in the west I would say longer. At 185lbs, you don't want any longer than 178 for the east.
