neither, a 175. 181 woule be for probably people around 6" tall. I'm 5'7" and I'm on 167s which are getting short so next year I'm going for a pair of 175s I hope.

If you're used to 176, then ull be able to handle 181 addicts because they will be centered. You'll be able to handle it.

yeah and I actually know this kid. He skis PC like I do. Hes good thats why he rides for dynastar. And if you have a ski sponsor the sponsor isnt going to send you skis that arent right for you.

I'm 5'10 and ski a 169 core center fujative and it's great, sometimes I wish I had a 179 but when I ski I tend to forget and just have a good day in the park and pow. For you I'd recomend anywhere from 169-181, 181 would be pushing it but for a ski such as an Addict or Invader or anything symmetrical that is supposed to be mounted true center a 181 would be fine.
