I know this ski is new to the market this year, but just wondering if anybody has skied on them at all. Just wondering how they performed on hard snow and/or groomed snow.
 
What length did you ski on? I can't decide between the 181 and 188. I'm 5'11 on a good day and weigh about 175.

I'm 6'2" and 205, so I go with the longest available. If you're done growing, you'd probably be fine with the 181. I ski a 181 ski when I ski out here on the east coast, and it's fine.
 
I demoed them on a spring day last year and found some snow that hadn't thawed yet. They were really easy and neutral, average edge grip for 100-110 waist skis I tried. I'm 5'6" and really light and could ride the 181s without any trouble. They were really light, and the turn radius is the same through the whole line-up. You could probably go long on them.
 
I was thinking the same thing on going long and that radius is very short. I just needed some validation to my thinking
 
I skied them last season, they were solid, but didn't wow me, probably because there was no fresh snow, trees or even crud to try them in. If you ski in the trees at all I would for for the 181 for sure!
 
I skied the 99 is the relatively shorter size, definitely couldve handled the longer, not a ski the skis super long. @ 175lbs i think youd enjoy the longer size more.
