HI, i'm going to buy some alpha 1's for park skiing next year, and i was wondering what size i would need.
I am 5'6" 120lbs and I mostly ski park, 60% jumps and 40% rails. The biggest jumps that are at my home mountain are 40ft, BUT there are other hills around that have bigger/better jumps.
I would like to know what size of ski i would need; 170 or 176.
Thanks for youre help and +K if its a good awnser that helps!

I would go with the 170 but i always think a little bit shorter than most people on here.
