I'm about 5'8 and I am using a 177 ski.

I like it, but I've noticed a lot of people using a lot shorter skis.

The current trend in skis is to go shorter, so don't get 179s.

depends what you are doing if you are just going huge and need the surface area to carry your speed into the jump than it is good but if you are hitting rails and getting in the pipe then i would go shorter that is what i think
