Bent 120 Length?

[NippelZwirbler]

Hey guys, I would like to know what length I should get my bent 120 in … I’m 184 (6’0) advanced -expert skier and would like to take them with me on my next trip to japan. Maybe also add the cast touring system for short touring trips up the hill. 70% powder& some trees 10% touring 20% pistes if needed. Should I go for the 192 or 184?

My main concern would be the trees tbh and I know it’s pain in the ass to tour with 192 skis

Thanks

192 for sure. I'm 5'8, 150lbs and ride the 184s and with the amount of tip and tail rocker they feel so much shorter, when I'm on them they feel shorter than my 178 and 177 skis. They also pivot really nicely and I find them to be very intuitive in the trees. With cast would be the ideal setup for what ur looking for, I use cast on mine and can't recommend it enough, so cheap/easy to set up multiple skis for touring and if you have the fitness levels you can 100% use it for longer tours.

I don't think the length would be a pain in the ass so much as the mount point, centre or near centre mounted skis are generally a pain in the ass to do kick turns on, however, I would not call it a deal breaker by any means. It'll be slightly more annoying but not anything that will actually slow you down, especially on a less technical skin track.

Yeah 192 for sure. I'm 5' 8" and ride some older 185 bents and they're prefect. The rocker definitely does make them ski shorter

Anything shorter than the 192's are ski blades.

Thanks for your advice … ordered some head razzle dazzle + bent in 192 to cover the normal and also blade ski category
