anyone 5'8 and around 185lbs ski the 192's? trying to decide if I should get 184 or 192's. there doesn't seem to be a big difference in effective edge btwn the two.

Hi Jay, the 'effective edge' you speak about only applies when skiing hard snow. In soft snow you are skiing the entire ski so the difference in the two lengths is very noticeable. Please provide more information on your ability, style, and the length ski you are currently using, as well as where you plan on doing most of your skiing. Thanks! Jamey
