I haven't found much on this..

I got a pair of 170 WLs purely for getting my technique down better when I don't want to use my 181 Pipe Cleaners on jumps, and for urban beatdowns. I'm 6'1" and 165-170, and these will get a lot of rail use and will be hitting a lot of jumps(including some big ones...unless they are frighteningly unstable for somebody my size). I'll rarely use these anywhere but park... so where do you guys have your WLs mounted(and what length) and how do you like them there? What really threw me off is that the tip rise is like 6cm longer than the tail rise..
 
you're 6'1" and have 170cm skis and plan on hitting jumps? that's your problem right there.... you need to get yourself some bigger skis otherwise they definitely won't be very stable
 
I already said that I have 181 Pipe Cleaners, and that I know that these will be tiny. Some people kill it on short skis...plus for urban I wanted a shorter ski...but I already said all that.

Good that's what I was hoping to hear.. 180s or 170s?

I also noticed that I core center is probably behind the 'heaven" mark(170s) which is -1.75ish.. which is too bad(because I wanted it farther forward), but probably won't be too noticable. These have such a soft nose and stiff(by park standards) tail..can't wait to see how they ski.
 
I have 180s. You'll probably love em. They are so much fun on everything. They are also really good outside the park - I skied em in steep, choppy pow and they were really fun.
