ok so i've narrowed my twin tip search down to the dynastar concepts and i'm 5'9 145-150 pounds and i was orginally looking at the 165 cm but i'm not sure if the 178 cm eould be a better choice, this isn't gonna be my only pair of skis, i already have all mountain skis these would be for the pipe and park. any opinions would be great

if you live on the east coast, and are a park rat that likes short skis, that will have to tails for stomping huge air. Cause the 165's won;t at 150lbs. Get the 178, it's a good length for going big, but it's not too huge either.

Im about the same size 5'11'' 150lbs., and i just ordered the 178's. I figured that because they are narrower skiis, the longer length would be more stable. Plus the blue graphic is sooo much cooler.
