personal prefference. where you like it is fine. i personally have skis that go just a little before the bridge of my nose, but they are a little short, they are 169s. im getting 177s soon.

ski size doesn't matter. i mean theres no difference between choosing a 175 and a 180, but always go longer.

it depends where you mount too. a 175 centermount will ski shorter than a 170 3 cm back from center ski.=
