Im 6ft 1 and about 145 lbs. I'm about to get the icelantic nomad 95's but stuck in between sizes 171 and 181. I want mainly a playful park ski, but I want to be able to take it skiing in powder and back country. I've heard many opinions on which one to get so I'm looking for a few more.

You need protein shakes and the 181

171 would be a little easier to whip around but pretty useless everywhere else outside of the park. Defs go for the 181.

You're 6ft 1 if you ride 171 you'll basically be riding ski blades... and especially if you want that all mountain/powder capability definitly go 181 no questions asked. Don't even @

If you want a park ski that is good in backcountry and pow take a step up and go Nomad 105. Also I’d say 181 or 191 depending on your skier ability but 181s would be the best blend of everything
