I have the choice between a pair of 176 Liberty antigens and 183 kitten factory razyrblades. I like the 173 kitten factory's more than the antigens but I'm afraid 183 is too big for me. I'm 5'9 or 5'10" and 140lbs
+k for help

183 is definitely a little tall for you, but it's all about preference, some poeple like tall skis because they had extra stability and some prefer short one because they are more manoeuvrable. In my opinion you should go for the 176.

I agree with Jibberty, 183 is definately a little tall but it all comes down to preference. A longer ski will be harder to handle and turn but will be more stable. While if youre going to use these in the park, you need to be able to manuver the skis well, and shorter ski will allow you to do that. I would go for the 176 though, liberty is a great ski brand I have a pair of their skis and i love them.
