i'm thinking about getting a pair of armadas for backcountry stuff (specifically the ARV's). i'm about 5'11' and like 170lbs, and i'll probably also use them to ski in the park. so i was thinking the 175s? the 185s seem too long for any park application

how big are you other skis, if your other ones are closer to a 185 get 175 and vice versa

my PEs are 179s and an old pair of K2s that i barely ever ski anymore (i do occasionally) are 181s. also, the ARV's still ok on hardpack/groomed stuff, right?
