So I want this ski! I'm just under six feet and weigh a little less than 180 lbs. I consider my self an advanced intermediate, no switch riding and I can't do anything more fancy than a 360. I try to ski aggressive and fast in the open and like to get technical and turny in the woods, but not really BC freestyle. I'd definetely go for the 190's and push myself if it weren't for the fact that I'll be doing alpine touring in northern Norway 90% of the time! Are the 182s solid enough not to get squirrely for a skier like me? I've worn out a pair of Verdicts, and the Coomback is a bit too soft and flappy when I charge.

Hey Peddyslate, yes, the 182s would handle great for you. I have a few male friends at over 6 feet in Telluride that are advanced to expert who ski the 182 czar that love that length for its maneuverability without sacraficing power. They will not be squirrely. The ski needs to be driven but will respond great for you in that length. Hope that helps!
