Hey NS

I found a good deal on a pair of Atomic Blog skis. I am looking for a fun powder ski, which i can use on those days, where I am not riding the park. I think the blog would be a great ski for me, but i am not sure about the sizing of the ski. I am around 5'9 tall and weigh around 139 lbs. My park skis are 176, so i am not sure which size i should choose for powder skis 177 or 185?

I would go with the 185 because they are rockered and the extra length will give you more float and stability. Having said that if you were skiing really tight trees or were planning in flipping/spinning a lot the 177 would be ok forsure but the general rule of thumb is that your pow skis should be atleast your height or more.
