ok

I am going to buy one of these skis not sure which one yet

about 178cm tall (5,10)

wiegh about 75kg, 165 pounds i think.

i will be using this most likely 100% in the park. only problem i have is should i get the 176, or 182. i like to butter heaps so was more towards halos but also like to go big on jumps and i hear halos aint so great for that. i ride 178 el rays which are nice, just this elf shoe tech has got me going on if i need to go for the 182.

would be great if some1 could tell me whats best that would be great.

Man you are like me, i depends on your skiing style, I heard that the rocker make your ski feel smaller so eventually the 182 could feel smaller.
But I dont know, just what i heard, lets wait for a better answer.

Go with the 182's. Rocker and center mount makes them feel shorter. My friend has this years Alpha 1's in 182 and he is 5'8 and doesn't regret going longer.

Well, do you maintain your skis often? Like, waxing? If you do, get the Alpha 1's, but if you tend to beat on your bases, get Halos.
