i looove mine, im 6ft 180 and have the 188, I can throw them around so easy in the trees, can smear any turn easy. You can point it down any chute and they handle speed like a dream. When you get down into tracked cruddy conditions they are stiff enough to just charge right through it without any worries, they feel alot like the bibby pro in these conditions. The tails are deffanatly stiff enough to drop some good sized cliffs without worry. My favorite thing about them is that i can pin them through steep gnar chutes then throw them on edge or smear out a turn and scrub speed and straight into thick trees where they still like to surf around. I would 100% recomend them to anyone looking into a powder ski
