i measured to about my eye leve and its 67inches
67 in = 170.2 cm
im goig to purchase the '05 THALLS soon and mount them center or w/e and ive been told that 176s are good and 180s are also good. im 5'10-5'11ish and about 145lbs. please know what you're talkin about before you post. i want to know what will be better for spins/boxes/rails etc... i already have karmas for all mountain. HELP!
by the way, this guy pmed me saying he is 5'6ish and he rides on 175s...this tells me that 180s will be good, but at my shop 177's that we have go in midway of my forehead, and even that seems a lil tall for me, yet better than 180s..

get 180's. and thalls are flexy so the extra length is perfect

when you're looking to center mount go longer-- i'd sudgest a 180 or so for you. I ski a 183 center mounted stl and i'm 5'11 150 or so. i also have 177 karmas, but haven't touched them since i got my stl's. an interesting note, i think the noses on my karmas are longer than the noses on the stls despite the 6 cm length difference.

FUCK MAN... 176 or 180 i just cant decide..it would be nice to have them next season too, but i think the 176's would be better handlin. i just dont know. i just measured 176cm = 69.3inches. the 180cm = 70.9inches. i think ill go with 180s and use them next year too. idk why the fuck they make a ski with only a 4cm difference, thats nothing. i thought the 180s would be liek 72inches long, now im deff doing with 180s END OF STORY thanks guys

good choice. and just hold up your hand and look at how much 4 cm is. it's not that big of a difference, and 180 is a way more bad ass number than 176

if you are only 170 cm, its iffy. im 168cm, and a 176 is perfect. you can go either way....
