both are way too smalll for you you need higher 70's low 80's and if you are getting true center the skis is going to feel shorter

yea i have the same skis. im about 5'7" and 120 i got the 167's and i wish i had gone bigger. go for the 177's and mount them true center it wont be bad for all mountain and they will feel shorter at true.

if there is bigger than a 172 smaller than 180 that should be good

i have my 167 chronics at true center and they ski better then i expected out of the park but when it comes to the icey stuff they get pretty scary and hard to control.

that's where i recommend for an all mountain/park ski, look around and see if you can find the 177, if it's 300 or under it's a good deal for chronics.
