Quick question, I'm looking the Armada jj for this season and I'm not sure if I should go for the 175 or 185. I am 5'6 and 170.

I'm 5'5" 120lbs and 22 and I've ridden both. Personally I would pick the 175 since when i use them, I usually ski trees so the shorter ones seemed a bit quicker. I always rent a pair when I go to ski in CO.

Honestly if I lived somewhere where I needed them I'd have a pair for sure. I really like them. I really enjoy the short turn radius and never have any grip issues despite the rocker and elf shoe. Honestly I really don't understand how you could ever have grip issues in the west with that snow but I learned to ski on ice. They're pretty soft too. I think you could do fine with either.
