indeed, 174 would be great. Stupid shop people, always recommending people get mini-skis.

yea...wow. 169.....

you need a ski thats at least 180. seriously. the ARV 185 would be awsome. actually...i just suprised myself with that thought....that would be a great pick. um yea, your tall, you need a big ski. dont look stupid. buy a big ski.

to be fair you could ski the 169 and you would be fine as long as you didnt do any bc. im 5'9'' and 140 and im on 168s and this is the last time i get anything less than a 174. so i would say the 174 by far.

174 if your not gonna center mount them. If you dont care about powder and more about park perfomance, then get the 179s and center m,ount them, and youll be very happy.
