I'm looking at getting the ar7s or ninthward hhps but I want to know what size I am? I looked at some 171s and the were at the tops of my nose. My local sports store told me that's where a ski should be but the are not skiers so can someone tell me where they should be? ( I'm about 6' maybe 6'1, 190 pounds)

With your weight and height I'd go for the 181's.

However, if you personally like shorter skis, then 176. But definitely not the 171's.

agreed 171 would be for people that are around 5'7-5'9 and definetly not as heavy as you
