I'm strongly considering picking up a pair for the upcoming season. I don't have much experience with rockered skis though so I'm not too sure about what a proper length would be.
Oh, and I'm about 5'6" or 5'7"

tank you aaron

i just ordered a pair, and i was in the same boat as you.
im 5 10, 150 and i got the 181.
i kinda think the 171 would be a little short for you, but the 181 might be a little big.
you should probably get the 181 i think.people were saying i could do the 191 too,but i got the 181 cause i ski in the trees alot, and the lower swing weight was appealing.
what size skis do you ski now?

and heres my threadhttps://newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/475443/

Im about your size

I havent skied caylors but i have skied hellbents, jjs, eps, and bibbys.

definitely go for the 181s

 

[jayo.]

well right now i have 161 anthems but i've grown a lot since i bought those.
i'm sort of leaning towards the 181s right now.

 

[jayo.]

ah, but i do love skiing in the trees. maybe 171 would be the way to go.
fuck, i am lost

before i got my 177 bridges i was on 161 karmas haha.
id say at 5 6-7 you should at least be on a 170.
alot of people say go 5-10cm longer in a rockered ski, the 181 is about 5 up for me, but welll..... im just rambling now

 

[jayo.]

haha yeah i know. i was crazy short until i had a huge growth spurt last spring.
gawd, this is a tough decision. i pm'd iggyskier so hopefully that will give me some more answers
