it depends on what you want your skis to ride like.....i think its more a matter of preferance.

THE ONLY thing that should factor in to this decision is if you have growth left. If you are done growing, than 171 is the perfect. 67 inches (5'7) x 2.54 (cm to an inch) = 170cm. 178 if you are about to hit growth spurt. Your call in the end though, with what you are comfortable with.

You will love them at 178...longer skis are so much more stable and nice.

Most people on this site will tell you to get the 171s because most people on this site ride tiny skis in the park all day. I will tell you to go with the 178s, as they will provide you with a stronger feel and overall a better ride in my opinion. I'm 5'7" and ride 177 Karmas and they are fine

haha, so true. as long as oyu have a drop of muscle, longer skis almost always feel better, whether n or out of the park, on rails or jumps. good choice with the 178s. and besides that, lines measure short.
