What weight are you, where are you skiing and what terrain will this be for mostly? You'll be able to handle a 285 ARV for sure if that's what you're worried about, but I'd go for something bigger and stiffer if this is your non park ski and you're a good skier.

185 should be quite easy for you a 172 would be like snowblades for someone whos 6ft so this is closer to what you should be on but u could go longer too 185 would be a good park ski for you i wouldn't go any shorter then that for park longer if your looking for an off piste ski

I'm 6' and 160 pounds and I like something right around 190 for all-mountain skiing. The ARV's should be fine for you, but whatever you do DON'T CENTER MOUNT THEM.
