i weigh 150 and im about 5foot9

im currently on scratch fs in a 174 mounted 2 back from center

the wall is available in 169 and 177, i feel like im inbetween the two sizes. i think the 169 will be too short center mounted but a 177 is prolly gonna be too big. thoughts?

i was sayin in combination with the obvious difference in ski type. he would notive the lenght if he mounted them at the same spot. or at least i would.

i just bought a pair, but i got 169 because that was the biggest size, the guy who seemed to know everything about every ski said that 177 is too big and 169 was perfect, im 5'11 and 165lb..is 169 too small? whats good about a bigger ski??

^ man you should of waited im 5`7 and 169 is limit for me i just got 171 dumonts and thats a good size for me cause there at my height and i do mostly rails and 40 tables cause my mountain sucks.  GOOD things about  longer skis more stability on landings in air and on rails.and more.
