Hi!

Going to buy a pair of Atomic Punx but don't know which length 173 or 182. Hope you can help me out. I'm 176 (5'9) and weigh 132 pounds.

I mostly ride park, maybe 90 % park. and 65 % kickers and 35 % rails. I have a pair of rossi scratch ghettos (167) and i like them, stiffness was nice on kickers but was hard to butter with(i'm not so good at buttering, so maybe it's because of me).

I'm leaning toward the 182s, since i have the ghettos which are shorter, so it would be nice to try out a pair of longer skis. but i'm a bit concerned about whether i will be able to butter them or not, cause i still want the skis to be playful even though they are a bit longer than what i'm used to.

soo... 173 or 182?
 
youd be fine on either. kinda personal preferance if you like your skis long or short. id go with the 173s tho. they sound like money for your size
 
im pretty much 6 foot and i ride the 08 atomic urban triplets ( which are, I believe, predecessors to the punx ) I have them in 175 which is really about right for me - really good ski - fucking awesome all over the hill, mostly park but ive had them out in pow days and they float like a boat! (okay slight exaggeration but they are pretty gooooooooood!)
