5'10" 175-180 in my skivies, looking to mainly do bc with these for a year in WA, then for a few in ID/UT, coming from a snowboarding(7 years prior to tele)/tele backgrouond (past 3 years), haven't had my heel locked in a ski for 10 years, 181 the right length? i know it will be great in powder but how will the coomback handle the spring/summer corn we have in WA?

The 181 will ski like a shorter ski, not a longer ski. This ski does great in the corn as well as the powder.

thanks for the advice. i guess sometimes i worry if 181 will be too much ski for me because apparently it will be more like a 185. ever used this ski to harvest corn?

Get the 181 for your weight and height. I have the ski in 181 and we are almost the same build - works well on softer inbounds days and is a great bc ski. I have had it in the bc of Jackson, Utah and CO.
