I may ask for both sizes. I pretty much know in advance that the 178 is too short especially after getting the running length measurments. If I wanted it for a 1 ski quiver maybe I woukd coinsider the 178. I really want a solid powder ski (in MT you don't 120mm under foot like you might in Tahoe) that has a tight turn radius. I skied the Scott P4's in a 181 and they are way too short. They have especially large twin tips and a short running length. If they are willing I may try the Howitzer and or the Bomb Squad (actually looks preferable as it only has tip rocker and none on the tail).

I will give a full report and review after I ski them. We pretty much know in advance that I won't have the ski out in the ideal condition, fresh snow off piste. Odds are we will be skiing man made groomers at Loveland.
