Im 5'7 145 lbs. I want Vs so my options are 177 or 183. I thought I was set on 177 but now I'm having second thoughts. All of my skis have been close to body length but I'm thinking of switching it up. What you think?
 
I think 177 would be fine for your size cause of all the rocker. If you weighed a bit more the 183s would probably be a better option

I’m about 5’8, 135 pounds and I ride a 186 center mounted... they feel super clean and I haven’t had any problems with control or anything....
 
177 and 183 are the only sizes, right? definitely 177 then, that's 7 cm over your head. you don't need park skis bigger than that lmao people on here get so carried away

they're easy to use skis with not a lot of effective edge but it's a park ski, you don't need them towering over you like a charger ski or something. if you get them too big you're just going to be pissing away the maneuverability that is part of the reason you're buying them
 
Na blizzard bodacious in a 196 is the only option for OP.

I would say 183 fs. At first they’ll feel big but you’ll be glad you got em. I’m 5,8 130 and ski the 177 and once they were broken in a wish I got the 183

shit, I'm really leaning towards 183 now, it's around a 2-inch difference between 177 and 183 and I feel like ima grow by the time I can actually ski them since these skis would be for next seas

Oh if your still growing 1000% get the 183
 
Get the 183 wets, you’re gonna grow, they’re already a light ski with low swing weight and longer skis just look dope

the 177s are already 7cm over your head, that's almost 3 inches of growth you can make before being taller than them. these people are fucking idiots, do not get the 183s haha
 
I'm boosting this to get a few more opinions, I measured and I'm 5'8 and I will probably grow a little by the next seas. 177 or 183?

183 fs, I was 15 5,4 and like 105 pounds when I picked up my 177 wets and they felt fine. Def get the 183 or you’ll regret it
