shit i kno there are a bunch of threads on this topic but i cant decide which size im gunna get. Im around 5'10 160 skiing at jay and stowe..anyone got any advice? i know the 179 will work alright..just not sure if the 186 will be too long to whip around in the trees but I know it will ski better in the open

line skis generally measure shorter than others so i would say the 186 would be the way to go

If you were out west and making big turns in open space the 186 would be fine but at 160lbs and skiing Jay and Stowe's tight trees I would go with the 179.  a 186 is a lot of ski to thrown around at 160lbs.

I would go for the 178's. I'm 5' 9" and 155 lbs and just picked up a pair of blends @ 178 and they are the perfect length. I wouldn't really want to go any longer my self while I could, particularly because I also use them in the park and ski a lot of glades.

BTW Prophets are so sick I almost picked them over the blends. Either size you would get your going to love.
