weigh and stand the same, we could be the same person. plus i have those skis in 171.

i love them, they feel the right length and i feel like i could even ski 176 just as well.

i think either length would be good, but if you're skiing aggressively get the 176.

imho.

176 for sure. I feel like I saw some used ones for cheap in sell trade. Also I feel like I saw 176 halos on tgr with bindings for like $200 or something not that long ago.

I know for a fact the stiffness will be identical to the 2011 model.
