B blatt Active member Jun 23, 2010 #2 164's are definately to small. 177's should be ok I guess but If you could've you should've gone a bit shorter maybe somewhere around like 171

.Max. Active member Jun 23, 2010 #6 Yeah, you shouldn't have a problem. The 177's are perfect but if you had gone again a pair of last years 171 anthems or chronics wouldn't have been bad either. You will be fine though.

Gnams Member Jun 23, 2010 #8 Yes those are the perfect size. they may seem too big but you'll grow into them
Jamestown Active member Jun 23, 2010 #10 Afterbangs are noodles, you'll be thanking yourself for the length later. I'm 6' and 160lbs and 178 a-bangs were a nightmare if I was ever a little backseat on landings. You're a lot smaller so you should be good.

Midwestjibski Active member Jun 23, 2010 #11 That's fine man. I'm 5'10 now but was 5'9 last season and my 177 afterbangs worked great. Its definitely the right decision.

BieberHole69 Active member Jun 23, 2010 #13 don't feel bad about your purchase at all. it's my first season skiing and i'm on 183s (more like 180s) and it feels completely normal to me
