im 6 feet tall and i was riding 159's last year. from the reading ive been doing on here that seems like it might have been really short for me. im looking to buy new skis this year (i know this probaby gets asked a lot here) but maybe someone could help me out. im 6' 190lbs, still what i would call begginer (i can 3, 270 both ways out, lip, 180s and thats about it) wouldnt call myself an agressive skiier, any thoughts on a good ski for me? theres a few tent sales comin up in my area so im hoping to find something there
 
forgot to mention, i ski in ontario, and dont really come put of the park. as for price range, about 400 bucks is my range but im buying at a tent sale or a ski show and theres some good deals on some really expensive skis so i really have no idea what i might find for that price.
 
Yeah you should probably be around 180, it will only take a few runs to get used to the larger size. In all honesty be careful when you go to the sales, a few stores like to keep prices the same or just knock of 10% and say it's 50%+ off.
