That's why I use that length in Manaslu, and tend to lengths such as 167 in K2 Baker. And, I like the 167 skis MUCH better when I have to carry them on my pack.

Didja ever find any boot liners that breathe? Jack Lou,

The 178 Manaslu feels short , easy, and flexible to me. Sort of like my joints in the 1980's. The 178 FR10 feels longer and is stiffer- never mind... : )}. 178. 225 lbs.
