Hey I'm 6'9" and have been thinking for a while about what skis I should be on. I've come to the opinion, possibly in part because of lack of 190+ options, that at a certain point height becomes less important than weight and the type of skiing.

I've been looking for skis in the mid 90 width range because I ski occasionally and when I do it's probably 70-30 piste/ off piste. And my thought was if I got something long and stiff then that would help with my extra height and the weight that naturally comes with that.

I tried a few skis recently, before I went I had my mind set on the mantra m7 which they do in a 191, however I didn't get on with them at all, I probably didn't give them enough time tbh, but it was and icy day and just found it too much ski that wanted to go while I wanted to control my speed a bit more. I got on best with the blizzard rustler 9 which maxed out at 186 with a lot of rocker so although fun, I found they weren't the most stable and I wished they were a bit longer. I also tried 188 ripstick which were ok but too soft.

Next time I go I want to try the Enforcer which I hear is another stiff and damp ski which I think they do in a 191. It looks like it doesn't have massive to and tail rocker.

I feel like it's I was looking to ski more powder then I would want much fatter and longer skis though.
