Hey guys, I’m an advanced skier looking to buy the Faction CT 2.0. I’m 5’10 and 148lbs. Do you recommend I get the 172 or the 178? Let me know, thanks. (This is my first post on NS)

178. I’m 5’9 and think anything less is too short

178 imo

rule of thumb: the longer you go the further away you are from snowblades which is always good news.

178, I would consider 184 if it's for all mountain/1 ski quiver instead of park and you ride hard.

Yeah I agree with this I have a pair of ct 2.0 and they are about 5cm taller than me and they rip. They never feel too long. Atleast get the 178, the 172 will be too short.

Even in the park, the 178 is best for a person of your height.
