I am 6'1 (185 cm), 165lbs, almost 17 y/o. I ski 50/50 park/all-mountain. I am an advanced skier

looking at some Moment wildcat 101s, but I cant decide between the 184cm, and 190cm. I have heard they ski short, so I am leaning toward the 190s, but idk.

I have skied some faction prodigy 1.0s in 181cm since I was 5'10, and they felt a bit short last season.

also where should I mount the bindings? the factory recommended is -5, but im thinking around -2/3 for park
 
go long for da steeze. i'm 5'7, 175ish and ride 178-186 skis. my bentchetler 100's are 178, which is taller than me, and feel hella short. it also just makes you a better skier since you have to control more ski
 
also, - 2-3 is prime imo. all my park skis except my blends are -3 i think. powder skis are -4, maybe -5?

you can go either way, and it sounds like you have the knowledge and experience to make the decision (otherwise i'd def nudge you toward the 184). so go with your gut. sounds like you want the longer ones. only thing i would say is that 1) what and where do you ski? are there commonly times you might benefit from the shorter one? and 2) your weight is more fitting for the 184 size
 
agree with pretty much everyone, go with your gut, but I would nudge towards longer ski for more stability when pinned in freeride terrain.

as for mount id say -2 or 3 from center for 50/50
 
-2 to -3 is a perfect 50/50 setup. I daily bent 120's at -2. Last season I had 178 3.0's at 6'3. That got sketchy sometimes. This season I plan on picking up bent 110's in a 188 and mount -2.
