So I'm looking at getting the new life's but I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out what size I want. I currently have the Kung fujas 189 but they are just a little long for me and when I get in the trees there can be some close calls with tight spaces. I'm 6'1 210lbs so what would be better 184 or 194 I'm looking for a fun floaty pow ski. Thanks guys
 
I am 6'3 185, I have the 194.

They're a bit planky, which is actually amazing when its deep. stiff skis are normally worse in pow but the surface area of the 194 new life is so massive, it wont sink even the slightest. such a good combo. Obviously Park and Moguls are its kryptonite, but surprisingly it rips on groomed.
 
I ride mine in the park, I have the 174 with griffons mounted at center. I'm 6 foot, and I really like them shorter for park/Midwest groomers, because they're different, super fun, and the lightest fat ski around. I would go with 194 if you're charging, but 184 if you want to play around on them more.
 
I have a pair of 179's brand new I am looking to sell for pretty cheap.

I think they're new lifes, 3 stage rocker in tip and tail and a bit of camber underfoot, I can take pictures, pm if interested.
 
thanks guys i think the 184 would be super fun because im never really charging down big mountain lines i just want a really fun floaty pow ski
 
194!!!! The new life skis very short due to the three stage rocker. I made the mistake of getting the 184 and regretted it. At your weight/height you should be fine
