Im about 5'5-5'6 and weigh around 155 and just got the 171 anthems but they seem way too big but I dont know if it's just me cause I went from a 165 TNK, I was thinkin if the 166 chronic would be better, I'm in the park 24/7 but want a little bit of a wider ski but the anthems seem almost too big

They are gonna be centered, so they will ski shorter. And you have a bit of weight for your size so you will flex the fuck out of them.

They are fine

Ya, im not calling you fat in any way. I am just saying that with your height/weight you will be good on the 171's

trust me theyll be perfect. im almost the exact same height and weight as u and i ride 171's. i had the same problem as u at first i wanted to buy the 166 thalls instead of the 171s because they looked way too fucking long but this guy who knew his shit told me to get the 171's and center mount them. i find the ski sizes are completly different on the rack compares to when ur actually skiing them
