I'd go for a 181, but definately get a personal look at both sizes if you can cause it's really up to you, but they are definately a stiff ski and either size will work for you.

i rode my 181 mojo 80,s yesterday and loved them, they are stiff but being heavy like myself that is what you are looking for, they are not heavy at all, hold an edge on ice, and the pop is awesome.....get the mojo 80s in 181cm you will be suprised at how well they ski and how agile they feel

I think particle board is just wood made up of a bunch of other woood 'particles,' and I'm pretty sure it's a really weak kind of wood.

dude you deff need a longer ski than 176. im like 5'8" and 175lbs and i ride the 177 chronics. they are a perfect length and i hucked a 7 on like a 15 foot table jump so its not a problem. i would say go with some heads, though the new ones are suposed to be less stiff than the older ones. i would say in the like 180-190 range.

Oh man, if you want to just fucking shred the hill then get like 190cm head mojo 105, that would be FUCKING BEAST.
