Hey NS,

I'm 150 lbs, 5'11" and usually rip on 185cm Armada JJs, which I love!

Looking into dropping into a purely backcountry/volcano touring setup. A lot of people say you should go shorter such as 177 cm (Armada Kufo 103) for a setup like that for better maneuverability in technical and steep terrain.

What are your thoughts on going shorter for a pure touring setup?

Thanks!
 
I know this guy who walks around on volcanoes a lot and he said the ON3P Steeple 98 was a pretty tight volcano ski.

That would probably be my first choice (maybe in the 179 if I was your size) right now but there are a lot of great options out there.
