I have an option/opening to get any one of these skis, for a relatively reasonable price. i'm 5'10", around 145-160 pounds with all my gear on, (boots, helmet, backpack, bindings, etc): the scott p4 (07) in171, the armada arv (07) in 165 or 175, or k2 hippy stinx in 169 or 179 ( it's pretty much a telly version of the seth, but i'd be mounting either AT or regular downhill bindings on it.) I'm looking to use them as primarily powder/all mountain skis, not too much park, i've got a few pairs of beaters for that. ( I would be mounting them a little closer to center than normal though for BC kickers.) not exact center, but definately closer than recommended binding point. ideas?
 
just wondering, why longer? when i stand the 185-something p4 up to me, it like towers over me like that crazy flaming eye thing in modor dude.
 
i just mean your 5'10" and 165 for a pow ski is too short for you. especially if your mounting closer to center. i wouldn't go below 175. i'm two inches taller than you and i'm skiing a 188, no problem.
 
oh yeah, i didn't thinkabout the length chage if I mount hem further up. unfortunately these are the only options I have at my local shop, except they've got the longer length ARV. soo..... it's looking like armada'sthe way to go.
 
i personally would go for the 185 and mount em like -4 from true center. or the 175 and plus 2 or 3 from suggested.
