A quickie about the 189's. The majority of my ski time is east of the mississippi, so i'm wondering how the mid-fat ish 108 waist will do on ice coast groomers and whatever backcountry fluff can be found at jay peak. The main reason I'm looking at the 189's is because i'm larger than average at 6'4 220 and wanted something longer. Thanks

Torsionally these are one of the more stable skis in this catagory and will perform fine an bullet proof. As for size, I say "right on" with the 189's.Add On: I traded my friend my 191 ANTs for his 182 VCTs. I love these skis. They are my everyday skis out here in Colorado. I use them on groomers, crud, ice, powder, trees, park and everything in between and they still handle awesome. The bases are bomb proof as well as the edges. These are the most fun, hard charging skis I've been on. I would say the 189 is the perfect length for a bit of everything. I really like tight trees and bumps so the 182 was a bit of a better choice for me.
