Hi Guys.
I am just about to buy a new pair of rossignol RPM 90s (last years ski). However, I am finding it relly tough to decide which melgth to get - 167 or 174.
I have been skiing on rossi bandit x's for a while, and love their high speed stability, but I am finding them too hard to turn quickly and in tight areas (they are 184). I have since sold them.
So I now want something that still has stability at speed, but can turn quickly too. I spend the majority of time on blacks and blues, with the occasional double black and off piste. I am an advanced, agressive skier, and weigh 150 pounds.
So which size do you guys recommend? I am leaning towards the 167, as this ski is built for stability, and with the rossi oversize concept, you are apparently supposed to ski shorter than normal.

Cheers.

I ski the Rossi RPM at a 174 and love it. Love it. Turns well, doesn't chatter, nice ski.
I found the smaller size to short. Whatever size, you will enjoy the ski. I think it was vastly under-rated.
