Hi,

I am an expert skier who is 165lbs and 5’11”. I currently ski 2017 Soul 7 HDs in 188 cm and am looking to get the Sender 106 and wondering if you all have suggestions as to whether I should go for the 187 or 194cm. I can ski anything on the mountain, my home mountain is currently Heavenly where I often ski Killebrew and Mott, trees, and very steep terrain. I enjoy powder but also want a quiver of one ski that can handle any conditions. I had no problem initiating turns on my 188 Soul 7s, even in trees at high speeds, but am worried 194 would be too much ski even for a strong skier at my height/weight who likes high speeds and long skis. Any suggestions as to the size for senders would be much appreciated!

194 is more steez
 
The Sender 106 ti is a pretty strong ski, the Soul 7 was not. These are two very different skis and if you have the ability to demo them before purchasing I would recommend doing so. This has come up many times in the shop where someone had Souls and wanted the "new" version, they bought a sender and were disappointed with how much more demanding it is. The Sender is a fantastic ski, but it is not a loose, pivoty ski like the Soul. If you are a directional skier with good technique the Sender is a good choice for a quiver of one.

As for size, my coworker has the 187, and it actually measures 187, so it's pretty true to length.
