Replying to How to size my park skis?

Hi everyone,

I'm doing a season in France this coming winter and looking to get some new park skis. I'm an experienced skier, and used to be a park rat for 4-5 years when I was a kid, before going to the dark side (racing) for the last few years. I used to ride a pair of 151 solomon suspects, but they're far too small now and a little outdated. I'm 5'10 and a bit (around 181cm) and was planning on a pair of armada arv 86's, but not sure whether to go for 170 or 177. Also not sure about that pair as I've been told I should look for something wider by some friends. Any advice would be v. helpful.
