get the 169's unless your gonna grow liek crazy,
it also depends on what your gonna use them for(big mountain or just jibbing)
if just jibbing =168
if big mountain =172 or whatever 174
cause if you do jibbing and ya have a 174 then you wont be able to do many spins at all cause the skis are gonna be like 10 cm bigger then you , however i am getting 150's and im gonna be jibbing this year . go with the smaller ones for jibbing and the bigger ones for mtn

i was talking to a rep about scratch sizes and he said not to even consider higher than 174 unless i was heavier than 150. He also said that height doewsnt really matter, unless you're abnormally tall or short, and it all depends on weigt for choosing sizes

i demoed the 174 this summer because there were no 168 at the tent and they felt much bigger, as if their actual size was somwhere around 179

I am not doing the grabs because I am getting a thrill out of touching my ski-JP Auclair
