I'm 170cm (5'7") and 60 odd kg super aggressive skier, I like hitting the biggest jumps and features, would 176cm Armada AR7's be an alright size or too big?

I ride 176 AR7s and I am 6'1 185lbs I think they might be a little big for you.

176 could be alright for you, if you're actually a very aggressive skier. Think about the bigger swing weight for your size, but if you don't have any worries I think that'd be ok for you

Nah these should be perfect for you. If you really do hit big features, anything smaller won't offer you the stability you'll need at high speed.

i ride 178 moment vices and 176 on3p filthy riches and theree awesome. i would even go to 182 but thats the biggest im 5'10. btw these skis all have a lot of rocker so maybe a little shorter for more camber skis but those dont sound to bad
