if they have them in 163 get them if not get 167. for bindings, anything by look is good but they can be expensive. salomon has some decent stuff that isnt too expensive

buy them on proctorjones.com theyre 600 with look px12 bindings and if you call or email them and give the promo code newschooler you will get 10% off. and i think the best would be 169. hope this helps you

They don't come in a 163 or a 167, and a 163 would be way to short anyhow.  Either get the 169 or 177, although the 177 might be a bit too big.  I'd probably go with the 169

You would be good with either 169s or 177s.  I guess it depends if you like your skis shorter/longer.

they are stiffer skis, so probably a little shortan than the length you would normally get for a soft ski.

169s or 177s, but it really depends what you will be skiing.  If you are spending lots of time doing jibby stuff, 169s would be better.  But in a 177 these would be a bomber all mtn ski.  177 might be a bit of a push, but if you ski a lot of all mtn they would step up your game and be stable.

177 sounds pretty good. Ive asked this before. but would like some more suggestions. Im like 6'1", 6'2' 170 lbs. id say more park then all mt. so 80% park 20% all mt i guess. 177 or 185.
