Atomic Punx sizing!

I'm 5'9 130 lbs, live on the east coast and ride mostly rails.
Should I get the 173s or the 182s?
Also does Atomic measure running length or ski length like line? I'm riding invaders in a 171 and they measure up to about 175s.

if you're just doing mostly rails, i'd say the 173s, but if you plan to grow you might want to reconsider that.

182. And if you're skiing mostly rails you may want to consider something with a little more durability, here's what happened to mine after 1.5 seasons of skiing pretty much only rails.

Oh and when I was 5'2 I was on 172's, and was just fine. That's why I recommend 182's.

Long skis for sure, they are just far more impressive.
