alright im 5'9 150 and i have 167 chronics.. i think they're small as shit and i wanna get 181 Fischer Addicts.. Do you think thats to big a jump? PLus they're not in bad shape so you think I should just keep the chronics alittle longer?
 
If you're 5'9" and skiing 167's, that's way to short. The addicts are a perfect size for you, plus they are a super sick ski. They will feel a bit weird for the first 2 days or so, but then you will never want to part with them
 
It's up to you if you want to keep them, but since they are in good condition you could concider selling them. As for getting a longer ski I would go for it..last year I went from a 168 to a 175. I feels a little bit weird but I got them at the beginning of the season so when ever winter comes I have to practicaly re-teach my self to ski anyway. Some people say they are harder to manuver with which is totaly wrong so dont worry about that. Longer skis also feel so much more stable too.
 
Dude, I went from Mike Nick Pro SKIBOARDS to 180cm's...you'll be fine, and I was 5'10" at the time of transition. You'll feel rather goofy turning, but you'll get it in a day.
