I ski it in a 175cm length. I have thought about getting the 180 length but then I think the charcater of the ski would change. The beauty of the Progressor in the 175cm length is that you can so slalomish turns on it (edge locked carved) as you can really tighten the turn radius on the ski. I think I would lose this on the 180 (but I don't know for sure because I have never skied it).

If you like the RX 8 you will just love the P9. It is a forgiving ski, but it just has way more high end performance than does the RX 8. Even better you can usually get a great deal on them and get new skis and bindings for $450-500.

Yeah boots make all the difference!!
