AM considering the Kuro as a quiver ski for deep or crud days here in the NW (Crystal, Alpental, Red Mountain).  I am 51, 6' 1", 200 lbs, ski everywhere but no big air.  Like to go fast but not ballistic.  My fave skis right now are Stockli Stormrider DP Pro, which I ski in a 185, though I sometimes wish they were a little longer.

I see a lot about 175 vs 185, what about 185 vs. 195?

Thanks

sending it off cliffs or staightlining at 50+ you want the 195

skiing varied terrain, chutes, trees etc you want the 185, IMO of course, and what I see those skis can do. plenty of float in both lengths.

If you are playing in the trees off of Northway or Eidelweise chairs that 195 is going to get real long. 

I'm your size, same area, a little older, and also prefer keeping flights to a minimum.  Rockered skis for me, 185 - 190 are long enough.  With the Kuros you can just about measure surface space in square feet.

Growing old is mandatory.  Growing up is optional.
