what do you like to do when you are skiing? how hard do you ski? how much do you weigh?

well 179 is probably pushing it, but you should be fine if you are a pretty good skier. 179 is definately ok if you are using it for powder and/or crud.

it is just personal preference, glen plake rides like 210's and candide is like a foot shorter then his skis. You'll get used to them after a day anyway
