I have been skiing Volkl Karmas 169cms for the last two years and love them. I struggle now in the deeper softer stuff to keep up with the boys on the big fatter powder skis.I have read the reports on the Black Diamond Megawatts and need help in sizing. I am 5'10 180lbs, under their sizing chart they suggest 188cms which seem long. Would I be ok with the 178cms as I will track the pistes as well to and from the softer stuff !

I'm your exact same size, ski on 177 karmas and 183 Goats. They are perfect for me (183 Goats). Try the 183's and 190's out and pick the ski you feel most comfortable in all-around. I wouldn't go any shorter than 183's in this ski though.
