Yeah, I ride 182's and I'm 6'1 so around 185 would be perfect for you.

thanks for the suggestions i just think that if my pistols are the 179s and if any of you have skied on them you should know that they are very soft skis and if the armadas are alot stiffer then the pistols which it really seems like they are i just thought i could just go 4 cm shorter since that isn't a big change in size and it is a smaller change than going up 6 cm.

i am 182cm and if i was buying a ARv i would get it in 185 and your taller and heavier than me.Plus its a pow ski so you'll like the extra length in the deep stuff

why are longer skis better as opposed to shorter skis? aren't shorter skis easier to do things on?

^first of all, "easier" is a matter of opinion. I personally like heavier skis because it feels smoother.

and longer generally looks better, and tends to be more versitile.

sorry i should have specified at the beginning when i said i am thinking about the arvs and i said probably the 175 i was saying that kind of to specify more of what exact ski stiffness and performance i was talking about. because i know what lengths are i practically grew up in a ski shop and i have heard good and bad things about the armadas and i have never been on them thats all i wanted to know people have diff preferences for lengthes for diff reasons. but thanks for the concerns and suggestions yet again
