i have the same skis. im 5'8 and have the 169. i love the size but hey are actually closer to a 172. k2 skis always run a little small just so you know

169 closer to 172 but K2 always makes skis shorter side?
Do You mean they run larger?

and to OP Id go 179. But I longer ski. They should have something in between  those sizes.

I have the k2 domain in a 169 and when I measured it, it was 173, and I'm 5 foot 10, I find it perfect cuz they are small enough to through around in the park but not too short to feel short

i like my '10 presses a lot. theyve held up great. im about your size and i would say 169. works great for me. if you plan on using them a lot for bigger tricks, i would say just step up to the domain. the press is more of a beginner/starter ski
