How much do you weigh too?
Experience level?

What skis have you been looking at?
Type of skiing? (Powder, jib, big mountain?)
I'd get something longer for sure

people generally disagree with me but Ill throw my two cents in. Im around 6'1 and for a big line shredder and cliffs Ill stick to around 180. I prefer riding a slightly smaller ski than others for a few different reasons including that it doesnt compromise any ability to ski out of cliffs or just hit big lines. But it is really all preference. What sizes have you ridden and how did you like them? What felt right?
