K2 Ski questions

i am 5'10" about 150 pounds and im thinking about getting either the K2 Silencers or the Public Enemies. if i get the PE's i will go with 174 but the silencers only come in 179 and 169. I can't decide whether the 169 would be too short and if the 179 would be too long or it if would be good to grow in to? Help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you get the silencers I would go with 179. I have the 169 PE's and I am 5'10 and I wish I had a longer ski. By the way I recommend the silencers over the PE's mine have not held up very well.

i have scratch pros, same as scratch fs, just smaller. the scratch fs come in a 84 mm waist, whcich should suit your riding fine. look into salomon foils, or maybe even a pair of libertys..
