well if japan is as good as it looks in the videos then forget anything that isn't reverse camber.. you're pretty damn light though so you will float on just about anything.. 175 sounds about the right length for you but i don't know anything about the chopstix.. i would guess 169 'bents might be sick.. but alot of people might tell you to go 179..

179 EHP is also a good option. 178 (or 175?) JP vs. Julien, and any 170-180 sized S7 is they so make one.

Theres alot of trees so more playing around in them, would a 179 bent be to had to handle?

Also i live in Australia and no one posts to Australia, K2 or Line for some reason and its all overpriced over here.

Also would you suggest a rockered ski, would lizzie be a problem?

Look into some new skis called the zero from nordica. They come out next year. Fat and soft, a true powder ski.
