Would anyone be able to advise a suitable ski length for the 2018 Rossi Soul 7 HD?
I am 182cm tall and 78kg.
Looking to pick up in the sale so won’t have a chance to test.
Any help appreciated.

I'm 180cm and 67kg, the 172 is perfect for me.

@Bennyboy1, what is your skill level? If you are advanced or expert then 188. Otherwise 180.

Thank you all. I am an intermediate skier and was skiing 172cm Fischer ranger 90 TI for a , which I have now bought as I liked them so much.
A bit worried by 188cm. Given the set back mount won’t this feel like a lot of ski?

I'm 177cm and 14 stone. I get on quite well with my 188s.They don't feel too long for me.
Edit, I'm on the older S7s, not the HDs.

Thank you
@spyderjon, will these be ok for Quiver Killer you advised on? Want to be able to swap the bindings over from the Fischer.

I'm similar height and weight to you and ski-ed them in 180 (or 181?) for a couple of days on a UCPA Off-piste trip this winter to compare them to my Salomon Shoguns (181). I found the Soul 7's to be much turnier and think I would have preferred the longer length.

177cm here and 68kg. I found the 180s bloody brilliant on the Gnarbug trip to Gressoney. I was also on 180s on the older Soul7 (not HD) when I did a UCPA off piste course a couple of seasons ago

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Ok so sounds like I am between the lengths 180 and the 188.

They're a firm flex at best with soft tips'n'tails and ski waaay short so get the 188's. And yes, they can be Quiver Killered no problem.

You know it makes sense.

I have the pre HDs in 180 and am slightly taller and heavier. I regret not getting the 188s. They ski very short so go long.

Thanks for the thread title - I will amuse myself in future looking for all the R Souls out and about.

@Bennyboy1, a friend of mine is about your size (maybe a few kg heavier) and a decent intermediate 1 or 2 week a year skier. He rented a pair of Soul 7s in a 188 this year when we got 20-30cms overnight. I have never seen a more rapid and dramatic improvement in someone's skiing! He loved them on piste too and seemed to have no bother getting them on edge.
Enjoy!
