ya.. whatever. i searchbar'd.. a little.

but anyway...  I'm 5'9, probably 5'10 by winter and am in between choosing sizes 171 and 176.. i'm about 90% set on lines and have been researching for a while.. balanced features in park.. so thoughts?

ordered 4 pairs..

but rrrryyy..

176 soundin pretty good.. (still more research to do).. another question.. thinkin about gettin anthem EP SE from 09...  but the hype bug snuck into my bed at night and now i'm thinking of getting afterbangs (when they come out).. soo get the anthems.. or save a reasonably questionable amount of money and wait for afterbangs

176s or 181s.  At 5'10" either will be fine, 181s more stable.  And don't ever be set on a brand by what you read online.  You can choose a SKI that way, not a brand.  Honestly, I have to say I think LINE is over rated.  Chronics will make a good ski if you mount them back a bit though(near reco.)

171 they will already be as tall as you if not taller they will be easier to spin and more nimble

i'd say 171
Because i heard somewere that line skies are 4cm taller then the hieght it says on the skis.
Example,
My friends invaders (171) are about the same height has me,
My friends 2010 suspects are a little bit shorter then me (suspects in 176)
