Hey there, I'm looking to get myself a ski for jibbing, buttering and playing around smaller features. I'm 5'9 145 and looking at line honey badgers. My question is which length should I go with, 166 or 172?

Shorter is always easier to butter. Just read up anything about leverage.

As for which is better for everything else (edge control, style etc), that's another question.
