Brad:

I am 59, 5'11" and about 190 pounds.? As a general rule, I pick the length that is second from longest in a particular ski.? That seems to work well and provides a way of dealing with the fact that manufacturers design some skis to be skied shorter than others.

My eastern ski is a Head i.SL Chip @ 165 (and 170 was the longest they made).? 119-65-103
My western ski is the Head iM78 @ 177 (and 183 was the longest).? 124-78-110

Based on that 'guideline' I would recommend the 170 2008 RX8 for you (and also for the supershape magnum)

Jim
