i like the invaders because they are super buttery because of the butter zone thing but they still have great pop

Yeah at 5'8" I think the 171s. I'm 6' and I have the 178s, I would think they'd be a bit long for anybody shorter.

i live in the east and would kill for a pair of hellbents. altho now it looks like the donner party for next year...

171 invaders, altho going anthems means u wont lose as much stability as its a wider platform

Uh, 178 is kinda short for you. I'm 5'7 riding 171's (moderate flex), and I'm really happy. With a center mount, especially on a ski as soft as the vaders, anything shorter than your height would have no stability.

171 or 178... your pick.
