I've posted before asking the same question but im confusing myself the more I look into skis. Been looking at the ar7 and can't decide between the 171 or 176. I'm 136lbs and between 5'9 and just started to get into park this past year. So, what are you thoughts? +k for good help.
 
When I was 5'9" Iwas pretty comfortable riding 172s in the park, however if you are still growing 176s would be a better choice
 
I'm the same size as you and I'm going with 171 T-Halls. If you're mostly a rail skier you can get away with having your skis a little shorter.
 
The Ar-7s are a pretty stiff ski so they won't need to be super long to be stable on jumps. Unless you're gonna be hitting huge jumps a lot the 171s will work fine.
 
pending on your ability it comes down to personal preference at this point because at 5'9" you can deff ski the 176 no problem but they won't be as agile on rails as the 171 the 176 will be more stable off jumps though but given your weight the 171 should be stable as well for you i have 171 ar7 and i'm 5'8" and they work great but if you want a little more ski go with the 176
