With the spring sale going on I have been looking at Kartel 108's and I was wondering if I should get 181 or 186

I am 6"3 140lbs and I would say i'm an advanced to expert skier, looking to use these everywhere including park.
 
No shorter than 186cm.

Between 186 and 191 comes down to balance. You are tall, but very light weight for your height.

If you ski balanced and are not over your tips hard, I think you would be fine on the 186cm.

If you find yourself over your tips quite a bit, at 6'3", leverage wise the discussion to go to 191cm is more important.

My gut is...186cm as you are so light and skiing some park. If you order, should I include some Weight Gain 5000 or something?

Thanks for the reply, I think I will get 186 as long as it comes with the weight gain supplements
 
i say 186 for sure. 181 is short for a 6'3" dude but 191s for a 140lb dude will be a lot (and if you wanted that much ski you'd know it and wouldn't be asking)
 
I ride old 186 jeffreys (pretty much the same ski as the kartel) as my tahoe daily driver. Wouldn’t want them any shorter.
