well ethan, hes 178cm tall, and he wants to get a 163 mad trix? no no no. i would suggest the mad trix too (i have them and the kick ass)just in the 172. if not that, get the FS in 174

if your a beginner, you might like a softer flex, so probably go for the scratch... for a park only ski, its one of the best... if you want all mountain performance too, i'd get the mad trix though.

mad trix is way more durable, but dude, 163 is just too short. i'm 5'11' (only one inch taller than you) and i'm on madtrix 181's. I guess if its for park only, it wouldn't be as bad, and shorter probably will feel better to you, as you are a beginner, but consider this... you're gonna outgrow it. your skills are gonna outgrow a 163 real quick.

You are 5'10'. You don't want to ride a 163 it's too short. Get something bigger. The scratch FS is a super nice pipe/park ski. Don't know much about the Nordica, but the mad trix is too short.
