im 5'11" 175 and a very aggressive skier. they will be park skis but still need to rip all over. looking at either 177 or 183, any input?

im going to say 183 as they are relatively soft and easy to manage at a longer length. @ 175lbs you should be on a 180+. Mount em forward a bit if your worried about length but you'll be fine.

YES!!!! im almost exactly your size, (a tad smaller), and i ride 183s. get them. you wont regret it. longer is for shure better. they have so little swing weight, its not evcen an issue

How high are the tips and the tail compared to the MSP's?
Are they the same?
I've always wondered about that..

think the stl's are a little bit lower, since they are a park ski. haven't put them side by side though
