 Poster: A snowHead

I'm thinking of investing in some proper off-piste skis, either new or used, to complement my pure piste and all-mountain kit and have no idea what length I should be looking at. I'm 6ft tall, 16 stone (ex-rugby player!!!) and have been skiing for thousands of years!. I ski 168cm on my Rossignol ZX9s and 180cm Experience 88s. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

And your Experience 88's are waaay too short

I would say width underfoot is a more important consideration than length, but they are of course linked.
Look for skis wider than 120mm underfoot.

Sorry, misled you. My Z9s are 168, the 88s are 180cm (and they are lovely). Thanks for the replies, 190 plus it will be.
