I am 6’4 and have struggles finding somthing that charges above a 192, so sick and tired of ski companies making skis just to a 187. Come on where’s the love for the big guys. Ideas?
 
depends what you're looking for, what kind of skiing

you probably know this but STIFF skis can make all the difference for tall/big skiers, that's what i'd be looking for because that can help make up for your not finding the exact length you want in some cases
 
Whitedot ragnarok, the non-pussy version that is. 37 meter radius, 120 underfoot, 193 long and a girthy 2700 per ski. Stiff as a plank (or a steal beam), pretty much all flat with a bit of camber and subtle rocker in the tip.

Downside: it tends to go through everything instead of staying on top. That includes bumps, pow if you're slow, trees, friends and enemies.

Tbh i wouldnt recommend it its super hard to ski but gonna be hard to find a ski that allows you to charge harder.

Oh wait, Faction Dictators. Ask johnny c, although I Believe he uses the short ones.
 
just got a pair of 4frnt Devastators in a 194. Haven't ridden them yet, but I'm expecting them to be one of the chargiest skis I've ever ridden, and still responsive despite the length.
 
also the volkl katanas are coming back, that's the classic bread and butter cruise missile ski. dropping 15 feet on them feels like stepping off a curb. and i'd be shocked if it didn't come in a long length

That ski sounds like it's made of pure testosterone, steroids, jet fuel, and titanium
 
I'm 6.2 235. Yeah. A good bug ski is nice. Trade length for width. I do have pair of 193 lines that I enjoy a lot. But I find the 185-189 to be nice

118 Rossi black ops. Come in a 186 and they are wicked sturdy. Tried a friends pair and they charge.
