Take it with a grain of salt as I’ve not skied any of the gear you mention but here are my thoughts:

You’re probably “overpowering” your old skis because they are super short for you. Even worse… the mfg copy talks about “massive rocker” which makes them ski even shorter. Personally I don’t feel like giant rocker plays well with tele myself.

Of the two skis mentioned, I’d pick the blizzards personally. It seems from the copy they have a bit more flex, especially in the tail. I find that really stiff tails work well for getting that energizing pop out of alpine turns, but that’s not what I’m looking for with a neutral, equally weighted tele turn.

Ok I'm beginning to side with the doomers here. What's happened to this site? It used to be a sweet place to post pictures of guns and now people are talking about bindings? WTF

[Manney]

LOL. Guns first, then skis…

To pick up on @spopepro’s point, camber certainly influences effective edge. Aggressive weighting gets back to technique, which you’re hoping to change a bit.

The Blizzards are interesting. Their construction seems to vary by length. This raises the question of length (which is the other thing @spopepro mentioned). So you might want to look at anything that’s been written about how the different layups/different lengths affect stiffness (camber + stiffness affecting handling characteristics). So lots of variables on the Blizzards… they could play in your favor.

I also tend toward a more upright stance, or at least aspire to that. It sounds like you might be going for more of a carver. They both have the same waist dimensions at 88 underfoot, right? I'd be inclined to go with the stiffer of the two and the one with less tip and tail rocker as a percentage of total length. 170 seems too short for your ht/wt.

I haven't personally skied either, but had looked closely at the Kendo for some time; I think it would fit your needs nicely. They, and the Mantra's, are known to be solid on all manner of true hardback, a preferred ice skate for more than a few skiers.
And I second the notion about length; I'm 5'6" and 130, and 170 is about as short as I go, and often prefer a little longer. You won't get the performance you're looking for from any ski in that length.

Hey guys, a could use a little advice. I ordered a Summit Cone Pariah from Telemark Down. At 5’9” and 190+ lbs I was surprised when they recommended a 177 cm. I’ve never skied shorter than 187 cm. I’m from the days when 204’s were a good all mountain length.
Should I go up to a 184 cm? I appreciate everyone here, I just don’t want to be offering cheap 177 cm skis drilled once this time next season!
@Woodserson feel free to pipe in!

I’d probably put you on 177s if I didn’t know anything about you other than height/weight. They have quite a bit of rocker, so effective edge is going to be even shorter. But if you’re skiing light boots/bindings I’d go 177, otherwise the 184s might be the right call. It’s a bit of a tossup.

You may have done this already, but I would talk to the folks at TD and make sure they know your specifics including the use you will put these to, bindings, boots, expectations, etc. Given their knowledge of the skis, I'd go with their recommendation.

[fisheater]

Thanks guys, TD suggested 177 cm which have been on back order for a while. I just started thinking about how short that seems.
Thanks, by the way I will be skiing with a light boot, an F-1.
I’ll see what happens.
