I'm 6' should I go for the 179 or 187? I'm an advanced skier mostly skiing on the east coast.

If you want to have more fun with the ski I would go with the 179. Like Collin said it will be more playful. But if your looking for a more demanding ski with a larger radius then I would take the 187. Just remember that the 187 is going to take a lot more to work with than the 179.

Depends on what you are used too. If you have skied 180 or longer in years past then i would go to 187. But if not i would go 179. I am 6'1 and if it were me i would go for the 179, It will be easier to control and more playful (depending on what type of stuff you will be skiing) But in this case it is all about preference.
