I'm definitely getting atomic punx and I need to order tonight. I don't know which size I don't know about 182 and wondering if they are long but a bunch of people are telling me the 182 over the 173. I'm about 5"10 and 165lbs and am using it for 95% park 5% groomers. Please inform me on which size you believe would best suit me.

Both would work. 182 would be pretty long though.

182. the skis are light and just the right size for you. plus mounting center makes them ski short. extra length= extra stability when going fast and landing from jumps!

182 i would get if i were you

I was convinced to get 182s but I saw Jossi Wells has his in 173. However he's probably a lot shorter.

he is also a lot better than you? and  most good skiers get bigger skis? depends on how good you are.
