Hey
I'm 5'10 and I weigh about 175... I already own a pair of foils so I'm looking for something that can ski pow. I've been looking at this ski in the 180 and 184. I'm a reasonably aggressive skier but I have to ski with the fam for about half the year so I'm not always able to ski the steeper stuff. Not too worried about the length just the difference in the 115 and 122 underfoot. I ski mostly at Whislter and Mt. Baker and wonder if the 180 at 115 underfoot might not be better if I'm skiing at resorts mostly... Would appreciate any recommendations.

When I skied the 180 this past winter and I said to myself, "self, these are some smooth, predictable, effortless skis. people are gonna love these". I think you'll love 180, 115 is still quite wide so it will be able to hang on the deep days too. The main difference is that the 180 is just an even easier ski.
