if you're skiing strictly park go for the 172's, if your doing all mtn. too go with the 182's.

Also most of the pow is in the trees so will the length make it hard to shred in there

i think the 182's should be fine if you want them for park and pow, they are rockered so they will ski shorter anyways.
