i said the same thing, but i rode them and they didnt ski that much longer or bigger than the lizzy... its just an all mountain oriented ski... given your size you wouldnt go wrong with either choice

172 is definately not too big and you could easily ride 182 bacons, it would just take a little getting used too

would they be to big for me (5'1 98lbs) i like longer skis and would be centre mounting, also i skied my friends centred 174 thrusters for a like 5 runs the other night and was fine on them, but not on my other friends 179 hellbents which i tried for a run, those are beastly

Doesn't the lengeth also depend on how you mount em so say a 178 mounted -2 from center can feel longer then a 189 mounted at center or something along those lines. it may not be that drastic but yea.
