Hey Everyone,

 

After lots of deliberation, I've decided to go with the Line Prophet 90's for my new all mountain ski out here in the great white East. It's been too long since I bought skis, so it is all new to me.

For sizing, I am 6'1'' and weigh about 205-215. Should I go with the 179 or the 186. I'm concerned that the shorter ski will be too short and the longer ski will be not agile enough.

What are the advantages and drawbacks of either length? I really like all mountain, but due to geography , primarily ski groomers , with an effort to get into trees and bumps. I like going fast, but being agile.

That's about it - my only next concern is bindings. The guy at the ski shop tried to up sell me to get some really expensive bindings, but I'm not sure just yet what I will do.

Thanks everyone!

At your size and with the flex of that ski definitely go with the 186..
