How much of a difference is there between the two ski lengths? I mean its 4cm.

I rode 171 last year, and already have a bigger, wider ski ar 182cm(Moship Flite) for the snowier days and such. But I'm also getting Ar5 from the 05/06 line. And I was wondering, from riding a 171 last year, how much of a difference will 176 v. 180 make?

I'm planning on the 180 but was just wondering?

Oh and I'm 5'11 150lbs.

Word, plus I'm center mounting so the extra 4cm would be good with a center-mount, little extra on both ends.

If your center mounting, the extra length won't affect you at all. And you'll be happy about the extra width.

I'd get 176's, unless you were planning on gaining alot of weight.

There's not such a big difference, I ride on Ar5 a76 an Scratches 180. The difference is not so big, if you wanna feel more comfortable get the 176
