Hi there. I'm wondering if the 183s will be suitable for my skiing style. I am 5'4" 135-140lbs. I come from a racing background. General preference is to have my bindings mounted at -2. I'm an aggressive skier that tackles pretty much anything the mountain has to offer. I love going fast making huge turns on big steep open bowls and searching for that hidden pow in the trees. Working on dropping cliffs. 90% of the time I have no trouble keeping up with the boys.
I know those seem huge for a girl but my 178 S7s just seem sketchy when I'm making fast SG/GS turns.
Any thoughts?

5'8 125 girl here. rode the 183's in some awesome powder on big mountain, tight trees, and some crud and bumps. I loved them! they ride a little shorter because of the rocker, I'd say like a 177 or so. I set the binding to -1 back and it was good. I don't know if you're looking to do any switch or just all big mountain powder but if you are i'd keep them center mounted or maybe -1.
