im 5'10 to 5'11, somewhere in the middle, 160lbs, i ski about 75% park, 15% regular trails just for fun, but always doing little 3's or little hops and stuff, and 10% glades. ill ski some pow if we ever get it here on the east coast.

im probably gonna get salomon suspects, and they come in 171cm, 176, 181.

thanks!

im the exact same size as you, and wouldnt go any smaller than 180, if you plan on doing some 360 switchups, go for 176, if not, definitely get the 181
 
i say get the 176 and dont fully centermount. backmount, but hardly at all. maybe 1 cm. it should be perfect for EC park and that lil powder stash every now and then.
 
181. Other sizes aren't even an option. And I would center mount them as well.

ps 360 switch ups are very possible with 180 + skis. That is a claim.
 
Haha...... im 5'10 and i just got the 176 solomon suspects.... a super solid ski...... plus i wouldn't go 180+ cuz its hard getting used to... but its ur prefrence..... 176 is plain and simple....... i think ud love it....

i ski about 80% park and 20 % all mtn and some pow if i hit up whistler for a week or two.......

Have fun with it...
 
for sure get 180+, they will be more stable on jumps and after a little bit you will be able to get tech on rails
