as with many of you others out there i am in the market for a new ski. 5'10, 125 lbs. looking at:

184 mantras
183 atomic pimps
186 fisher atuas
Bros? where do they fit in? which stiffness?
Others?

Ski will be mounted with freerides for 75% resort 25% bc use. I currently have 175 pocket rockets with freerides, nice and fairly light for touring, but want a stiffer longer more solid ski. That said, i don't weight very much so I don't need something super stiff.

At 125lbs, the 184 Mantra will probably be too much ski. I wouldn't go any longer than the 177. It skis longer than it is and will have 5-6cm more effective edge than your old PR's. Maybe the new 178 stiff Bro when it comes out or the 188 soft Bro possibly?

The Pocket Rocket is like Barry Bonds early career and the Atua is like Barry Bonds late career.

Atua is playful and has solid edgehold like a PR but with more beef and power.

5'10, 125 lbs.

You almost beat my 6'0" 130lbs that was listed on my original drivers license.
