Hey, I am 6'1 and weigh about 190. I am getting the jj's and putting marker dukes on them. I will ride them almost every day this winter, and plan on doing a lot of side and backcountry. Last year I rode some 185 ep pro's and the old 188 jp/juliens. Are the 185's going to be big enough for me?

You are a pretty good candidate for the AK/JJ 195cm. Like everyone says, they ski a lot shorter than they really are. I've skied the 185cm with marker dukes for the last 4 years, mounted about 2-3 cm's back from "core/true" center. If you want to ride switch than mount a bit forward of the recommended position.

These ski shorter than they measure due to the rocker. Personally, I think you could go to the JJ/AK at 195 Cm. At 165 Lbs, the 185 is perfect for me on tele gear. On Alpine gear, you'd generate more power than I can muster up, you're 4" taller and 25 pounds heavier to boot!

Also, if i plan on touring with this ski, but want to still ride it switch, should i just stick with the recommended(-5cm) point or move it forward a bit?
