173 or 163 for chryptonites, quick help please!

[Canuker]

Im looking at getting some chronic crypto's from last year

im 5'5", 135lbs.

I ski 75-85% park and the rest all over the mountain. (it really depends on where and when i ski though, sometimes ill just hit groomers and trees with friends all day and sometimes ill ride purely park)

Im a strong skier.

I currently ride 171 invaders that are already over head on me. Im just worried 173'smay be too big but at the same time 163's may be too small.

I need to decide by tomorrow!!

dude, u do realize that 2cm is less than inch. 1 more cm on the tail and the tip...can u hand that?

173s

If you are riding 171's right now and you like them, plus you are a strong skier you could probably handle the 173, and 163 might be a little small.

yea i know but i didnt want to push anything and/or make it harder on my self for spins and stuff. Considering im 165ish tall. the 171's are already decently over head.

 

[jason...]

go bigger, 173's all the way.

163 but youd probably get this year and next out of them but 173 if you want them to last
