178 or 171 ski size

[jAsonjenningS]

hey so i am gonna buy the 2013 traveling circus ski as a new park ski and they sell it in 171 and 178 i am 6,2" if i stand up straight but i tend to slouch i was wondering if i should go for the shorter or longer

Longer for sure. Im 5'6 and I'm skiing a 170, a few cm long but regardless go 178. The traveling Circus ski is soft as well, so you don't want to overpower it as it would feel way to noodle like at 171.
