Hey guys, Im looking for new skis rn and Ive decided on the pipe cleaners since I like the Ar7 and the pipe cleaner being a little softer is a trait I like. Should I go with the 171 or the 176? 5'9 180lbs about 70%rails 30%jumps

If he's planning on skiing 70% rails with a fully cambered ski and is 5'9", I'd say 171. If it was 70% jumps I'd perhaps advise 176.
