i have 175 and the 165. I use the 165 for urban shit and the 175 on the mtn. I would never go back to anything less that 175 for the trouble maker. The smaller ski does not seem to have the same pop as the bigger ski. Also, the bigger is much more stable and wash-outs don't exist. I would def go to a bigger ski.
