i ski north west pow what size is better 175 or 185 i want to stay on top and do carving and jumps and backcountry stuff im 5'8" 135lbs
 
eh its a tough decission. instinct would say 185 becuase i believe they measure short and jjs ski short. especially with the new rocker. but if you plan on using them in the park the smaller size might be a lil better. im six one and like one fourty something and i ride the one eighty eights, so personally if i was you i would ride the 185, but its all kinda preference
 
it is a tough choice but i would go with 185, because this ski will ski short on hardpack due to both the rocker and the nature of the sidecut. In powder i dont think it will ski short but hey bigger is better (to a certain extent, and not in all situations). And from my expierence Armada skis always measure pretty exact.

I'll be in the PNW this season and this will definatly be going into my quiver.

btw. This will be a super light pow ski so the extra size (10cm) shouldn't add to much to the weight.
 
Errr, I might be wrong but aren't the 185 and 188's the same thing. As I understood it Armada orignially claimed they were a 188 but they after a change in the way they measured them decided they were a 185. I don't think there are two seperate lenghts (185 and 188).
