The sizing seems a bit tough for this ski with the jump from 179 to 186. I'm 5'11.5" and ski a QST Echo in 181 and like the size. I was considering this as a bit more of an uphill focused ski (quite a bit lighter) but that still maintains the freeride personality. Mainly I have found I really dislike flat tail skis that make initiating turns harder and can cause the tails to catch a bit in deeper heavier PNW concrete :). I'm wondering if these would ski relatively similarly to the QST Echo with just a bit...
