I am 5'7 150lbs. i just got a job at Alta so i will be skiing plenty of pow. i was looking at the Sir Francis Bacons but i am worried that the 182 might be too big for me. I also looked into The Prophet 100s. any other suggestions would be killer.

dude, you should totally unban my emopoppins account, this one sucks.

oh and come on man, you know the choice is obvious, SFB all day. i know how NS and 9thward get a long so i'm not gonna say 178 rory SFS, but either way, both look like fun skis.

you'll want at least a 180 for pow, especially Alta.  The Bacon is a good ski, Hellbents or EP Bros are always a good option. 
The Liberty Helix in 176 would be sick too.  They're way fun.

of course not. little stu halverson is on 179 hellbents and he runs shit like a champ. and i'm pretty sure your not a shitty skier, so you could easily handle them. and now that i said that, you could look at hellbents too. ski length doesn't matter and it hasn't since skis were straight. anyone can ski any ski depending on how good of a skier they are.
