^ Agreed. Volkl Walls come in a 185 and they might be a better choice if you like them a bit longer. 4frnt STLs come in a 183 but to be honest, 2.5 cm added to the tip and tail wont make much difference. The TNK is a pretty sick ski, has this wierd textured topsheet, seems durable, but the ski feels like its well made and the edges of the topsheet are kinda rounded so it won't chip as much as lots of skis. Relatively solid flex and fast base as well as not too wide should make it good in the pipe.
