Ok, im trying to decide on lengths of my new skis. The two skis im looking at are the NEw Public Enermys and the Armada ARVs. The lengths i would be looking at are in the K2s a 179 and i know i can hadle that but the closest size is eighter a 175 or 1 185 in the Armadas. I will mainly be useing the skis for backcountry and pow. But this dosent mean that i wont ever go into the park. Im leaning towards the ARV due to the fact the i will most likely be goin to Japan at the start of next year. Im around 166-170cm and im 70kg or 11stone. The ski choise will most likely be effected by the avalibility in Australia. Hope to hear some replys, Cheers Nick.

If you're sure that you'll be skiing SOME pow, I'd say arv's. I'm about your height, maybe a little smaller and I have the 175's. I like them everywhere from pow to park. If you're gunna be riding park mount um a little forward of reccomended...maybe 2-3cms. On the other hand PE's aren't terrible in pow either...

Im tending to go for the new ARVs. Ithey look soo hot. I spose im also supporting a growing company. I will be mainly freeriding eg back country and drops and some park but not a lot at all. I love sking the untoucher deserted areas after a bit of a hike. Any one else got an opion.

at your size the 175 arv would be perfect for what you want to do.
