    Did I make a mistake???

    I need some imput on my newests ski purchace. I just got a killer deal on a pair of Mojo 90 176's. I've been out of the skiing loop lately dealing with school and all, but am excited for the upcomming year here in the Central Seirra's. I'm 5'11 150 and consider myself an agressive skier who likes to have fun on and off piste. I know I need to set my bindings back -2 or so, but will they be to short for me??? Should I sell or give them a try??? Thanks

    Yeah I'd have to agree with that, but even then, for an all mountain ski that sounds like a reasonable length.

    Just nervous because my last ski is the 01/02 rossi XX 195, but these Mojos look fun, just wondering how that might handle a high speeds in variable snow conditions???

    Twin tips always ski short. 186's will ski like 176's.

    so a 176 twin skis like a 166?? So I might be asking for trouble or a few unexpecting nose-dives...

    I'm 165 lbs and the 186 Mojos were plenty of ski. They're stiffer then the PR (isn't everything?) but less stiff then a Karma. I suggest you ski the 176's and enjoy them and not second-guess yourself. Oh and if you're a girl pls post naked pictures. If you're a guy then pls ignore request.

    i own the 176 at 5'10 170.
    I mounted on the line and the tips like to dive.
    -2 should be ok for you and still have enough tail.

    The 186 might be better, but the 176 should suffice for all around.
    Theyre especially fun in bumps and tight trees.

    Because Cougars will tremble when they see you've invested your life savings in skis.
