186 is definitely too big for you and 166 is too small for you.

186 will be fine...but who knows they make more sizes for next years ski. I imagein your going to wait and get next years...they are off the hook.

i belive that this year's skogan is 178, but it's all the same. and yes, 186 is pushing it a little bit, but if you think that you could handle it, more power to ya'! just think about what you're going to be skiing.

I'm 5'8' and ride the 178 Mike Nicks. They do great in the powder (I've had them in up to 4ft. of fresh) and the length feels just about perfect. The Skogens are super sick, but REALLY stiff.

Would the skogens do as good in backcountry powder in Utah?

As good as the Mike Nick's? Yes, they are exactly the same dimensions, the difference is that the Skogen has a super sick topsheet graphic, but more importantly the Skogen has a stiffer flex profile.

Yes, they would do just as good, they are pretty much the same size just different lengths.
