Im about to pick up some boone magic sticks 93mm waist, but im not sure what length to get. Im 5" 9" and 130 lbs. Right now i ski 167 rossignol scratches, and they definately feel too short. So what do you think?

depends on where you mount them and what you are going to use them for. i would go with the 180s

Idk 180 would feel massive to me but i guess longer skis are better than shorter... Like everyone else said i would go with the 180s and jus get used to it

180 center mounted wont feel long at all but if your getting them mounted farther back the 170s would be fine
