Considering buying a pair of Gotamas - 170 cm. Haven't skied them but not too worried as everyone seems to love the skis, great all mountain etc. Only question: how heavy can you realistically go with this length. I'm 5'8" and 190 lbs and think they are could be too short. Any help/advice from those in the know would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
If you are a strong skier go with 190s. But you are not a strong skier or you would know this, therefore 180 is correct for you. 170 is too short at 190#... unless they are red.
TECH TALK JONG!
get the red ones. they would be the right size for you
Buy my undrilled 186 Gotama's right here:

It's a great ski. I skied on them during the winters of 2005 and 2006. They were a big ski back then, strangely they look skinny these days.
The 190 is really good in big fast terrain. The 170 seems small but maybe not if you are on the east coast. Either way the 180 whatever it is would probably be better for your size.
Or just get the red ones. As previously mentioned the red size is best.

I can sell you some pre-rockered ones in a 190 for CHEAP if interested. They are the black ones with the Tokyo nightlife scene on the top sheet (not sure what year that is). Maybe $50 plus shipping from Bay Area? Can also hand-deliver in Utah in jan.
The 170's aren't too short. You're too fat.
WRONG FORUM
OP - do you wonder why you weren't swathed in loving kindness after your inaugural posts? Maybe if you showed a little respect and read the stickies first - like this one...
