Hi there... I've read some reviews on the twenty-twelve but none answered truly my questions... Would that 2012 be suitable for an aspiring intermediate to push for progression?...
How easy/maneuverable/forgiving does it feel?...
Rides true length or shorter?... What length would fit best a 185lbs /5'10" ? (171 seems little too short, whilst 179 a little too big...)
Thanks!

I would definitely go with the 179, especially since its a softer ski (and has rocker). Im close to your size (5'11" - 180 pounds) and skied last years model in 179, it definitely didn't feel to big, if anything it skied a little shorter than my 178 El Reys.

turns and maneuvers extremely easily due to tip and tail rocker. this effectively shortens the contact points of the ski considerably. however, as an intermediate, I don't see why you would go longer than 171, unless you are already skiing a ski in the 175 range in which case do not hesitate sizing up to the 179.

I can't answer most of your questions, but can tell you that the difference between the ski sizes is only 2.3". It will make a difference, but a very small difference. Get the shorter if you like to play more, short turns, etc. Get the longer if you want to hit the deep pow.
