What's the best ski in a 186cm length?

Lhasa 186 fat

Rossi Sickle 186. Tough to find now...

Ok if we’re serious...east coast do-it-all: 185 Enforcer 93.

But seriously, get the ski you want/lust for, then figure out how to carry it.

That's near the top of my list.

Sickle was a fun ski for the West. It was shorter than indicated on a tape pull. But you can't find them anymore--at least ones in decent shape.

I miss Tom from Austria and insights like this:

Why had no one invented RaxSki already 20 or 50 years ago?
Ask me an easier question! Both the RaxSki and the new ski technique utilize a niche in the physics of skiing which remained undiscovered as it was useless (or even harmful) for the ski-establishment.

Masterblaster 187cm? You could put them in at a slight angle to make up for that extra cm.

Just got some based on the reviews, which describe them as a kind of (a) playful, (b) all-mountain (c) carver, which is a hard combination to get right but precisely what I desired. I wanted an east coast all-mountain ski for the harder times in Tahoe. They're apparently the evolution of the Prophet 100s, which were some of my favorite skis ever.

ditch that (presumably) Subaru and get a truck.

Switch to snowboarding.

And yes, every 186 ski measures the same exact length.

**XXX-er** · 04-16-2019, 07:56 PM

you ^^ would think but I've seen some mfgers measure along the base and some measured tip to tail so a ski measured along the base will be shorter

but since the question is ludicrous, we must of course give the appropriate ludicrous answers

What car? I’ve put five pair of skis all over 210cm in a 1980 BMW 320i. Lay passenger seat back, put tails through passenger window to opposite rear window, guide tips down to passenger floorboard. You can fit a 190 inside a Tacoma extended cab if you need to.
