I'm about 5'9", 155 lbs. Advanced skier who skis park and all mountain. I'm getting liberty LTE's and last time I got them I got the 171s because the 181s seemed to big but now they have them in 171 and 178. I feel like I should go with the 178s but at the same time thats the largest ski they have so I feel like they're meant for people that are 6 feet or taller.

What do you guys think, 171 or 178 liberty LTEs?

also just wanted to put the good word in for liberty, I bought my first LTE's in 2009 and I snapped the tip last year around January. Email them asking if they could do anything for me and they gave me this years model for 50% off!

I ordered the 178s yesterday but they dont ship til monday so I'm contemplating if I should call and get them switched before they get shipped out.

Go 178, it will be odd at first but for you that is the perfect size

I ended up sticking with the 178s, I think theyll be more playful and fun
