Looking for confirmation on ski size

hi I'm looking for some help with ski sizes.
I looked online and found a chart that says for my weight I need someting at 170(I'm 225-230) and 5'9-5'10. They then say if you can ski the whole mountian in any conditions add 10Cm if you cna ski the whole muontian in good conditions
add 5cm's.
the terrain here is not challenging so I think 5cm's suit my ability eventhough I do ski everytihng here but the hills are only 1000ft tops.
so I was looking for a set of Karma's but the price is jsut too much for me right now
I can get a good deal on a set of mojo 80's that are 172
do you think 172 will be long enough for me ??

I found that HEAD has a product advisor and they recommneded the MOJO 80 in 172 for me so it's all good

you may be correct I'm only going by what the guy at the shop, and the head site and another site told me.
the guy at the shop kbows my weight but 2 places onlnie don't allow you to calculate your weight into the equation.
also we don't get much if any pow(sometimes if u hit it before it's groomed) where I am so does that make a difference??

i would deffinitly go with at least a 175+ ski, i ski martock as well, im there like 6 days a week and even on such a small hill i found that skiing on a 171 (me being about 5'8" and 150lbs)just seemed like to short a ski. what do you ski now?
