which length AR6 would be best for me!  im 5'10, and 75kg (165ish pounds)and i ride aggressive all mountain. i would like to get the 181cm as they definentally have the coolest graphics of the AR6 batch but just thinking they may just be a little too long for me? What do you recon?

Your a touch taller than myself, and I have the 176's.

Listing your skill level and what you plan to ski would help a bit.

forgot to add... i plan to ski all the mountain, but mainly in the park with these skis as i got some other backcountry skis. i will be hitting all the rails, jumps, pipe but will also take it outside to hit some natural big terrain stuff. and also the cruise down the blues

if you have another pair of all mountain skis get the 181 and mount center. If your mounting behind center go 176

ive heard mounting the AR6 central or any other non symetrical ski central, ruins the performance on the ski. or does that only ruin all mountain skiing but in the park will be fine?

i was in the same vote as u man, and i am the exact same size. I went for the 181 more stabel and dont worrie aobut the center mounting myths, i had public enemys centered they were so fun and thier core is pretty far back. It jsut takes a couple of runs to get used to. When i mount mine i can let you knwo how they feel true center
