Aporx 185#. Normally make skis at 176 is in length. Last powder skis were longer in the 185 - 188 range. The 185 had a standard side cut, no camber and a small amount of rise tip and tail.

If you are not doing full wrap edges, Are you concerned with where your edges end in relation to the tip spacer as it meets with the core? My thought is that you want the edge to run past the tip spacer joint in order to help preve...
