i found a 173 cm pair from 2012, but 173 would be like 10 cm too short wouldnt it?

Well idk that's a hard choice if you didn't want a wide ski really get the el Rey it's very good poppy and stiff and don't forget affordable

I recommend the Bent Chetler. I just bought the 2012 model for $400. It does have a bit of early rise but it also has a fair amount of camber underfoot. If you're going to Niseko you're going to want a powder ski with some rise. The camber on the Bent Chetler will make it rip all over the mountain and it will definitely help in that Niseko pow.

Line Chronics!! I have the 2010 model and can't be more pleased. They have plenty to offer and really is an all mountain ski. Handles fine in the park and glades. And still gives me the speed and smoothness when hitting up groomers. And I know from my experience I got them for pretty cheap. I believe I was around 450$ for the skis and bindings (3 years ago).
