you should go a size bigger than 165 for whichever you choose.

165 is kinda small for 5'6'' maybe go up into the 70's

im 160 and i bought the 185 arvs. Get the 175s dude you wont regret it. I skied mine first time yesterday and it was just incredible. Great flex, nice and light, and I'm assuming youre not fully grown so go 175

Yeah, Blends or ARV's for where you're at. I have a pair of crichtons and they're definately pipe skis, so not recommended for pow.

I'm assuming you're still growing, and since you live in Van, go with the 175 arvs. Might as well get more than a season out of your skis. Even if you want to mount way forward to help spin, a second mount later down the road is much cheaper than a new pair of skis. Plus the ARVs are pretty soft so they shouldn't overpower you....too much.

dude go with the arv's the chrighton (sp?) is a park ski and if your in van your probably gonna be skiing all around the mountain, the dynas only have a 78mm waist if i remeber and the arv's are like 87 or 90.. go with the arv's still a real soft ski for a lighter guy, or at least the 06 ones were soft

where did DC go?
he just vanished.
he has a sick ski though, it sure didnt vanish.
however, you live where they just got how many feet of snow, well where you live it was rain, but i think you get it.
might as well get a bigger all mountain ski... if you like dynastar, bug trouble maybe?
the arvs are pretty hot though, youre little, youll float.
