303Skier Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hey Ballers! It's that time and I'm trying new skis after being on a HO A2 for the past three seasons. I am a 36 MPH skier and my PB this season is 2 balls at 35 off. I am struggling with my off side on the A2. I demoed a 67 and 68 D3 Quest Q45 and felt like the 67 was good. I didn't ski on it as well as my A2 but it's a new ski that I'm not use to. I got bent forward a few times off the ball on my on-side but felt the ski was very symmetrical from side to side. I tried the 68 D3 Quest 45 and felt like it was extremely smooth and easy from wake to wake but hard to turn. I struggled to make my 28's. I am very confused about which ski to go with (67 or 68 D3 Quest) and could use some input!! Thanks! About me: 6'3" 206 lbs. Left foot forward PB 4@35off setup: 67.5 HO A2 Reflex front Binding RTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted July 25, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2015 I'd say 68. I haven't tried a quest but if anything like a x7 I had no problem turning a 68 and I'm 180lb 34mph ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bishop8950 Posted July 25, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2015 Both height and weight suggest 68" Quest to me. If it feels big run your boots slightly forward and fin forward. I weigh 185 and 6' flat and I prefer a 68" at 32/35. When I get to 38/39 the turn radius seems too big so I ride. 67". But if I were a bit taller and heavier it may be different. If you like smaller feeling skis you could run a 67" but my bet is 68" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
