185lbs puts you smack in the middle of Asnes' range for 200s. Many folks here recommend sizing up one for all Asnes skis unless they're really dedicated for downhill turns. All my Asnes are 1 size larger than recommended and I wouldn't change it except for maybe shorter on my Nansen because I am basically only using it now for downhill and uphill with mininal traversing. So, 210 should be fine for your purpose, especially if 185 is without a pack and clothes and whatnot.Kneedle Drop wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 3:09 pmWould 210 be appropriate if the ski is not being used as a dedicated turner? I mean for someone around 185lbs. I didn't know about Norseman in Calgary, so thank you for that tip.
Norseman doesn't list much on their website. There's a thread here discussing their stock for this season, with pictures. I am kinda curious about the MR48 and MT51 they have, but I need to quit buying skis until I build an addition on my cabin to store them.
