I'm just tryin to figure out some ski sizing, (I'm lookin to buy some skis so let me know if you have any for sale). Anyways, I have been skiing 175s lately and they are great I am 5'11'' 165lbs and thinking of either going something within the 170s or maybe 180, would 180 be okay?

serious man 180 is just fine. Check out any ski size thread of anyone near your size. You will not regret it.

I'm about the same size as you and I have 186's and 189's.  If you're going to buy 169's at your height you may as well join b-crew.
