I'm 6 feet, 188 lbs, advanced skier - I'll be using these mainly for the east - basically tuckermans and places near there and occasional trees at jay. I have a pair of 177 and a pair of 184s, so I need to get rid of one pair - I'll be mounting naxos on whichever pair I keep. I also have a pair of b-squads with fritschis that I use out west, so this really is a strictly east coast use. 177 sounds a little short to me, but when I'm going through trees sometimes I think the skis I currently tour on are way too long (184 b-squads), but I'm guessing the skinny waist of the g3s will make them feel smaller. So, I guess my question is 184s or 177s for east coast touring?

Hey~ I'm skiing the '06 Barons & love these skis after finally giving up my long straight skis 2 years ago. (Dynastar Course SL in 203) I have them set up for AT with Freerides in a 184 after having tried it in a 170 and finding them too short. (they didn't have the 177) They are solid yet light and bust through crud as well as hold well on NE "packed powder". Had them out to Snowbird two weeks ago and floated them in 14" pow just fine. (wish I was there NOW...34" new in the last 24hrs!) The length is fine as I'm 5'8" & 155 but often have an overweight monkey on my back. G3 actually had a sizing chart online that seemed to recommend skiing them long. I mostly ski the East and usually in the trees or gullies of Mt. Washington. You can't go wrong with these boards. G3 sizing chart info: Baron 170 cm 125-155 lbs 177 cm 135-175 lbs 184 cm 155-175+ lbs
