it depends, if you are just doing park, 170, if you ski all mountain 176.
--but i would say 176--

also take in account that the AR5's are very stiff skis..

shorter, because it is harder to flex the ski.

I don't know much about that ski but at your weight a 170 in almost any ski would be good. I don't know if you'll grow or not, but something to think about. Will you be taking this ski anywhere else besides the park??

midwest- If i were you I would go with the 170. You don't need the stability for speed (unless you spend time vacationing in bigger mountains.....then you can rent) and you dont' need the length for flotation. 170 is plenty big enough to get you down the hill safely and carve a few runs as fast as your hill will allow.

Stept-
I think 170 is way too long for you......I would stick with a 160....you'll be sorry. There's no need to go up to a 170 unless you're freakin downhilling.

See I think you're borderline. I would think about what type of skiing you do, how fast you ski...etc. Doesn't matter what I think though, go with what you'll be happy with.

i'm midwest too, and it doesn't hurt to have shorter skis, 170 should be fine. are you still growing?

i'm on 164's and i'm 5'6' (they're barely even short...)

Tanner rides 180s. He's like 5'4.
176 should be fine for you.

ya go with 176, im just about that 135 and almost barely 5'11'', it was a change from skiboarding to skis, and i bought the Skogens, i dont no what ur gettin prolly armada judging by the thread title, but ya, they work good for me pretty good for spinning and give good speed, decent for doing butters anyways look into skogens too, but ya 176 is a good size in my eyes
