@borchjd i weigh 190, if I were to purchase the E-88 the only size I would get is 199. That ski isn’t a real turning ski, like an S-98. I cannot think of a worse combo than being on a Fischer waxless, which have good grip, and being heavy so that the scales constantly drag.
That’s just my opinion. I’m not a big waxless guy. I need to be up front about that. I have an S-112, so I know Fischer scales. Over 200 lbs, you’re not on the line, I don’t care what Fischer puts in their recommendations.
I agree with Fish. 189 is too short for that ski and your weight for effecient touring. 199 is a better size and imo wont be any more challenging to turn than the 189.

Great feedback. 199 it is! I'll keep my eyes peeled for when they're back in stock. Thanks all!
