John/jim, here's where I think a lot the manufacturers are getting it wrong (IMHO) the running lenghts are getting freakishly short for their length, I don't know enough about skis but I would think a lot of this lenght is due to a tip with a rather large amount of abupt rise (lack of better literary skills) Seems to me they should be scoping these in a little better, say a 176 and a 186 with a little less rise, more gradual rise?? Thoughts??

the 188 is the right length for you by default but its more like, the 178 is WAY too short, but the 188 is only a little too long.... especially given that almost every other 188/9 ski on the market is at least 2cm's shorter than published lenght (with the exception of the Keeper which is a 190 published at 189)
