ow big are you cus 185's might be a better option.
i found when i demoed both the 175 and the 185, that for the kind of skiing i do, which is mainly big mountain and freeriding. no park. that the 185 is alot more stable and more controlable ski. the 175 seemed to jump around on me a bunch. so the extra 10cm made up for its noodly core.

Yea dude you might look into 185's instead of 175's, if you plan on using these mostly outside of the park. I bought 175 ARV's, and for the skiing that I usually do I wish i had 185's. However, they are very nimble at 175, and are the perfect, tree/pow ski, and great in the park as well. When I am bombing down the backbowls in vail and it is a little crusty, the tips kinda get a little squirelly sometimes. Now, you ask why I am telling you about ARV's when you are interested in pocket rockets? They have basically the exact same dimensions, and come in exactly the same lengths. And, from what I hear the ARV's are stiffer the the PR's, furthering supporting the idea that you may want the 185. OH, I am also 5'9 165-170 lbs.
