Im 5'11" and about 150, Always been skiing 178's and it just dawned on me this year maybe i should consider a bit smaller? Like 171's... Thought it might be easier 270'n on and shit... I live in a place where you dont ski deep snow often, so thats not really a concern.. The only concern is the back support on landings and stuff...What do you think?

stick with what you've got, you could probably even go a few CM's longer.

i skied 169s last year and i was like 6ft 160 and it wasnt bad, but i was used to the skis, i would stay long cause its way steezyer, i just got some 178s, but they are fat

The height seems good, but if your worried about spinning on and off rails, and tail length for landings, maybe you should consider mounting them foreward a little, possibly center mounting em
