Thanks for all the replies to all the questions. This is a great website. I have been on 165 Dynastar Legend 8000s for 3 years and they do great on crud and moguls but not so good on the big Utah powder. I just demo'd the Dynastar Mythic riders in 172 and I liked them but I still wanted them shorter. I am about 5' 11" and 140lbs. I tend to ski slower and in the trees and steep with occasional bumps and prefer shorter turns. I read that these ski shorter but I really don't want to buy these in 172 and regret it. How would these in 172 compare lengthwise to the Mythics in 172? Since they are so much wider than my Legends I think I am leaning towards the 165 but just need some final thoughts from the experts. I can't find anyone in Utah that Demo's these! Also what are the lightest bindings that you recommend for these?

The reason your'e sinking in powder is your skis are to short,your pretty light so you could get by with the 172 but you sould be on 179's. these in a 172 would ski like about a 168, they are fatter, but very quick skis. the lightest binding for your weight would be the marker griffons. The only other ski i can think of thats mid-fat and short would be the 4frnt vct, i think they make it in a 168. a another ski you might look at is the line elizibeth, its a short powder/park ski that does very well as an all-mountain ski for lighter skiers.
