I know there have already been some threads about this and whatnot but basically my 174 scratches got swiped last year so im thinking about some of last years tweaks in 181. im like 5' 10'' ish but only 135lbs. Would that be too much ski?

181 isn't to long at all, i personally would go a bit longer if you are going to get them center mounted.

okay well heres the thing. its either 175 trouble makers or 181 tweaks. and my legs are super strong 'cause of cross country running 5 miles everyday. and i have the old '03 tweaks and loved them and ive heard nothing but good reviews about the newer ones. and as of my skiing ability i do about 80% all mountain and 20% park so just a really good all mountain twin is prefered. not sure which way to go but thanks for helping
