I notice T-P has 4 sizes (149, 158, 167, 176cm) and am wondering which might best suit me at just over 140lbs; I'm guessing 158 or maybe 167 but no way to see or demo on this continent; I've been happy with 169 Manaslus if that helps. :-( Useful info, thanks.

I think I will give it a try. Have you tried the Dynafit Broad ski? How did it compare? I am leaning towards the Baltoro since it is a little wider, has early rise and I was able to try it. Greg,
