Ski length

depends on how much you weigh. i've always liked a longer ski. more stable on big jumps. when you mount close to or at center it makes the ski feel shorter too.

How much do you weigh, and what kind of skiing are you planning on doing? If your just sking regular trails or powder then I would go with a longer ski, but if your sking park I would defidently go shorter. It also depends on skill level, what would u consider your skill level?

Yeah go 182 if you plan on only doing trail skiing. If you are thinking about eventually getting into park maybe think about going shorter and if you are thinking powder you would want longer.
