Warrantied my old Bonafides for a new pair. The skis are great but the topsheets on the old ones had started to delaminate. Thank you Blizzard! :)

I am a gear whore.....

Last year my new Volkl Kendos broke on the sidewall at the end of the year. So they sent me a 2014 pair.
I resieved my new Rossi Soul7's in the mail yesterday. I am going to transfer my marker Duke binding over to them and get a new pair of skins.
I also just got the order form this morning for a pair of Fischer GS race skis.

2014 volkl kendo 177
2014 rossi soul 7 180 w/ dukes
2014 fischer rc4 gs 180

I think I may have a problem...

I'm planning on getting these, but I was thinking 188. You are a bigger guy than me so you are making me rethink the length I want. Why the 180's?

I am coming off a 181 twin as my fatty. I have never liked super long skis in general. It all comes down to a preference I guess. I demoed the 180 and poved them, so stuck to that size. If I was west and did more open skiing I would most likely get the 188 cm pair.
I am definatly a big guy, but prefer my 177 kendo over the 18?, and the same on my race skis. Maybe its the slightly smaller radius, not sure.

My Wateas are 186 (were if I can sell them ...) and that size was never an issue to me. But I had a pair of 185 Enduros that I thought were too big, traded those in for the 178. I'm a little torn, but think I'm going to stick with the 188, I saw one guy on epicski is getting both 180 for backcountry and 188 for inbounds.

As a east cost skier I dont really buy a powder ski for a resort. You might get lucky to get in 2-3 runs before its all tracked out. I do more backcountry touring, and prefere to be able to turn tighter in spots.
For the resort powder day I will "suffer" with them slightly shorter.

In my mind, northern New England
After paring down the quiver, I still have what I refer to as Rossignol's holy trinity (circa 2010):

174 B Squad with Dukes
176 Caballero S7 with Dukes
178 RC 112 with Barons

They will be on snow again someday.

Nice. What size?

Going with the 188. Never had trouble in the trees with the 186 Wateas and these are so much lighter and have a shorter running length. Evo.com has last years Marker Griffons on sale for $150 so I grabbed a pair to use here.

Because going long is passe' & No one is skiing 200cm skis anymore.

I have a Nordica Supercharger setup with good bindings. At 98mm underfoot it is my go to ski on all but the firmest of days.
I have a Sollaman X-Scream with those fancy torsion bar things with decent bindings that is my rock ski.

And at the end of last season I picked up a K2 xtm to replace the PE that I broke :-( although this was not the ski I had hoped it was at less the 100$ I couldn't pass it up...

2009 Line Prophet 90 / griffons 172cm
2013 Line Prophet 90 / griffons 172cm < -- the new version with tip rocker etc. I bought them as last season's leftovers, got a great deal. Bindings being mounted this week. A little concerned after reading they are not as stiff as the orig version.
