Im 6'2 187lbs and been skiing on 178s, will 191s be too big of a jump?

damn bro, 6”2 and skiing on 178s, who are you andri spaghetti?

nah in all seriousness though I’d probably go for the 191 it’ll feel way more stable. I’m 6”2 too and ski 193s and don’t think I’ll go down to a short ski again, that said tho if you want to be hella playful go shorter

Needed this, thank you!
 
My 191 jeffs ski pretty short for their size bc of the heavy rocker, but it’s really nice to have that extra length when you’re on edge ripping turns and going fast as fuck. I’d say go for it if you’re on the fence. If you blast thru shit and generally fucking rip, def size up. If you’re more into slow jibbing or cruising along and need the lightness and precision, maybe size down. Great ski regardless, you’ll love em.
 
you should be totally fine but it also depends on the type of ski. i am 5'6" (on a good ay) and ski 175-185 for park skis but ski up to 194 for pow

at 6'2" something in low 180s would be fine for park skiing but is probably too short for pow boards

I ski mostly on the east coast, so only the occasional powder day, u still think they would hold up?
 
Do you plan to have multiple pairs of ski? If not, you’ll have to compromise on width/camber profile but as far as length goes, you really shouldn’t be on anything less than about 182, I’d say.

If only the east coast and basically no powder the 186 will be great for you. Long skis suck out here.

You’re asking the wrong person my man. I’m not the one enraged because someone likes a brand of skis. lol. I’m getting nothing but laughs out of this kid living free in his head.

Also are 102 under foot to wide for east coast skiing?

Depends where you are skiing on the east coast. For a lot of places yes anything 99 or larger is going to be too big for out east

naw dogg. i served 2.5 seasons out east and was mostly on CT 2.0s that were 102 underfoot. it was rad. 102 really isnt that wide if you’re a tall fella.

I ski in West Virginia and Pennsylvania on 191 Jeff 102’s and I’ve never wished they were narrower. Had some Poachers before, they were also pretty awesome for shitty east coast skiing. 96-100 is ideal in my opinion, 102 works great too. Might be a hot take, but being a big+tall dude, wider than normal skis are pretty nice, they feel proportional in a way.
