i am planing on getting some big troubles for skiing 99% in the park. i am 5' 10" and i dont know if a 186 will be to long for me. i think a 176 will be to short and similar to the 171's i am on now. can i have some opinions please

Get park skis if you're going to ski 99% park.

How much do you weigh? That matters more than your height...do you think you can muscle Big Troubles in the park? If you were getting an all mountain ski, I'd say sure, go for BTs, but for 99% park just go for a normal park ski.
If you're dead set on BTs, just tell us how much you weigh and your skier ability. You could be a beanpole...

IMO 186s will be too damn big for park. If you insist on big troubles then go with 176...

i weigh 150 but im not sure if im gonna get them cuz i they dont even have these two sizes for $300 like i thought before but i am sure that i can control a bigger ski. ill probly end up with the 176 if i get them.

Thats what I would say. Its not that you couldn't control them, but at your size, they wouldn't flex like a park ski. They'd be too stiff.

Better idea. I flexed them today, and I had thought them to be stiff, but compared to the Prophets they had a medium flex. That'll be a good choice for you.

If you go with the big troubles, I would defiantly get the 176 for park. the 186 would just be a pain to spin with. The 176s would be a great park ski. If the Chronics are cheaper I see no reason not to go with them. I would say just go with what ever leaves you more money for ski passes/gas money to the hill.
