By Ranked #1638 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis October 26, 2008

I'm 5-11" 175, expert AT skier, love making alot of turns, tree skiing, steep narrow chutes, etc.. and being able to maneuver on my skis (I don't mind going fast either). I just got the 188's in the mail.. Their friggin' HUGE!.... Anyone who has skied these before... is this the right size for me, or should I go to the 178's?? I've been skiing 186 apache chiefs, and am fine with those in terms of size... The megawatt just looks like twice as much ski.

this is a good size for you, i am 5'8" 150lbs and have the same skis. i think they ski much shorter. they have an effective edge of ski 15-25cm shorter. one of the BEST powder skis out there!good call - definately go 188 - they have a shorter effective edge length due to the rocker
