So I have the Seth's 179 at the moment, I am 5 8 about 150. I live in Colorado. Should I stay with the 179 or go to a 169. I like to mount at +3 cause I dont do a lot of park. Would 169 be too small?
Thanks

I guess I'll be the only guy who says 169.
I am 5'6'' and was on 175 trouble makers, center mounted. I broke those
and center mounted a pair of 169 fujatives and have a ton more fun with
them. The ski is much easier to throw around in the park and I can
ollie much higher. I have no problems with washing out on landings or
see any advantage of having a slightly bigger ski. I just bought a pair
of 175 ARVs for all mountain and I think this will be plenty of ski.
Then again, if you are in CO and don't ski a lot of park. Its not like you'll be trying to toss them around too much.
You're only 5'8'', I don't think you need a 179 length.
