177 or 185?

[CART.__.]

I'm looking to get some soul riders for next season, but I'm not sure whether I should get 177's or 185's. Probably going to be doing like 80% park. I'm 6'1" and 160.

Depends how good you are/how you want the ski to perform, but, if you're 6'1, probably the 185

Unless you are literally only hitting rails, I would go with the 185.

im 6' 185 and i ride 181, 185, and 186 skis. I ski everywhere though, maybe like 35% park

185's will be much more stable if you're going big (and because of your height/weight)

Like the other guy said, 177's would be better if you're only doing rails or small features.

I don't suggest the soul riders... I bought a pair early september and started skiing december, blew my tail early january. Had a new pair then they blew again 2 weeks after. i don't know if i was just unlucky or they're just not solid but for a 600$ investment, it pisses off.they're really fun though. i'm 6' and i had the 185. i find the flex way more consistant and they go well everwhere. however if i was you i'd wait for next year's model... i heard they made some modifications on the construction. but if you have to buy them i suggest the 185.
