Dynastar Legend Pro Rider Alpine Ski 08/09 Model

Looking for some help concerning choice of length to purchase...

By Ranked #693 - Alpine Fat Skis January 17, 2009

Looking for some help concerning choice of length to purchase in the Dynastar Pro Rider....I ski aggressively off-piste and am considering the Pro Rider as my ski of choice for your standard 6-8 inch days of fresh snow and slightly bigger dumps...I currently ski the 8800 model in a 178 length which gets me around very well until I encounter some serious pow...I'm 5'9" and and a lean 165 lbs...the K2 Coomba is probably in my sweet spot length of 181 but I've heard great things about the Pro Rider...can the 176 be too short for some hard charging? Will 184 be too much for me to handle in the steeps? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I wouldn't go shorter than your current setup if you are looking for a ski for those fresh days. If you ski aggressively, I don't think the 184 will be too long. Coomba is a great ski as well and if you think that would fit you better then maybe it is the better choice for you.
