Because of the metal in them they carve ice pretty darn good, but it does come at the expense of extra weight, they are some of the heaviest in this group, another ski to look at close to this size is the line prophet 100, it also has metal in it and carves the ice well but is lighter and quicker, goats are good, but either of these other two are better on ice. 181 would be a good size for you, as p4's ski short.Way too heavy for BC skiing look at this ski http://www.backcountry.com/store/KAH0057/Karhu-Storm-BC-Telemark-Ski.html not as wide under foot but plenty wide. Look at Fritschi bindings.I ski the 181 with Fritschis, and while they are heavy I wouldn't consider them "way too heavy" unless you are talking full-day tours or longer. I can't think of anything lighter in the same width, with the same variable-snow performance. -Wasquatch
