By Ranked #324 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis January 30, 2012

I think I'm finally starting to narrow my choices down a bit: Rossignol Super 7 and the Katana. However, I'm hesitant to commit to the larger size. Will the 184 be too small for a 6'4" tele skier just under 190? Anyone out there around my size with some experience on these skis? Thanks!

I am 6'1", 180, so close to your size. I've had the Katana since they came out. I used to ski a 190, but dropped to the 184 a few years ago, and have had no regrets. This is beefy ski - essentially GS ski construction with a layer of metal. It is super stable, and I think you gain versatility by going 184 instead of 190.
