I have the Poachers at 184 (there's a reason I got them so cheap), and while I definitely would prefer something a tad shorter for early and late season, they're great all-mountain skis (not much of a park at Monarch or A Basin). Unless its a foot or more of blower pow I just use these guys.
Helix’s rip. if you like going fast definitely a great ski. Poachers have more early rise and a larger turning radius (I think). Helix’s super light and snappy. Super easy to whip around for 98 underfoot.
