I'm 5'8", about 140lbs and I'm only going to grow an inch more at most. Would the 170 or 176 alpha 1's be better for me? Thanks for the help

With the amount of rocker on that ski you should go bigger for sure. It will make it more stable.

U could even go for the 182 if u are growing one more inch, but definatley rule out the 170, it all comes down to what u ski

176 for sure. They ski short and they're super light so you dont be worried about them being too hard for you to throw around.
