Yooo guys,
I'm 5'9.5", 175lbs, 23yo, and a level 3 skier. I was wondering what the better length for these skis would be either a 177 or 184. They are going to be my mostly park skis that I take all around the mountain on occasion so mounting will prob be close to the center. I've never skied on skis as big as 184 so it's a bit intimidating.

Wish I could find a new pair of edollos on sale but the ARV discounts are too good.

Also if anyone has experience skiing these in trees/light powder I'd like to know your thoughts. I know the 106 is better for pow but I'd rather have 96 for the park.

so you're pretty much exactly 177cm. if you are doing mostly park with them and are a little scared of going too big, get the 177. arguments in favor of getting the 184 would be that you're a little on the heavier side for your height, and you might mount them up a little which makes them feel shorter

you're good to go either way, go with your gut and never look back
