I would go longer for sure. The way the early taper is shaped on the Crjs makes it so they ski really short or at least that's what I found using my brothers. But also I guess it would depend on what you were skiing and if you cared enough about weight to have the extra weight of the longer length matter.

These guys are right. You'll want the 180. Especially for a powder ski. It'll make you better at kick turns too.

If it helps, I'm 5'2 and have the original CRJ's in a 164cm and wish I had gotten them in 172. Translated: 172 would be way to small for you for touring). I unfortunately destroyed the CRJ's after several bad snow seasons and can't really use them anymore. Sad that they're discontinuing them. I'd love to pick up another pair.
