i'm 6' 180 lbs, trying to figure out 174 or 181... will be used primarily for spring corn tours. i'm thinking 181 but curious if that seems like it'd be too long (since k2's skis are usually longer than listed) for couloirs or steep jump turnsalso wondering if the weight savings is worth it in terms of lost performance compared to the regular baker (like on icy or mashed potato snow)

These skis hold pretty much on par with the regular Baker, in my opinion. They ski corn so nice, and the weight savings for long tours is great. You are pretty much my size, and I ski on the 181, with no problems. Jump turns are easily done, and spring conditions are easily handled.
