hears my dilemma.. im 5'10'' and about 150lbs... i wanna know if 169 olssons are too small? i just bought the new 171 ar6s nd they seem to be a good height. will the 178 olssons be too long?

Should probably be moved to ski equipment.

178 should be fine.

Wait... are you asking whether to get the AR6 or Olsson? Or is this a question about height?

If it's about which to get, if you ski all mountain as well as park, go AR6, otherwise go JO if you're just a park rat.

I am 5'10 and 150 lbs and I just bought the 178 Olsson's.  Perfect length IMO, comes up to my eyes.  Anything less feels like ski blades to me.
