Im 5'11, Im on 170 bandit X's, 174 K2 Axis X, prob gonna get the 174 scratch fs or the 176 BC. A deep powder day for me though is above your ankles, so short is the order of the day. Australia sucks. I did try a pair of 177 Xscreams, good and fast, absoloutely knackered by the end of the day, probably should get fit.
