fischer...how tall are you and do you think the 185's are a good size. I'm shy of 6'1 and this season i chose to ride a shorter ski as i felt like i have more control. I'm actually riding 169 twin tips...i dont feel like i've lost that much speed as i was always able to haul. I plan on sking the JJ's in the pow and doing some drops and trees etc thus i felt like maybe the 175's would be a good size. thoughts?

What's your weight and skiing ability? That's the biggest factor in ski length. It's hard to gauge since you're riding on 169's right now which must mean you're 150ish pounds or less based on sizing. If you're closer to 200 lbs. and feel like you're an advanced skiier then you could easily go with the 185cm. This ski with the slight rocker skis a little bit shorter than the actual length.
