Different ski length?

Hi NS, I have decided to purchase the faction prodigy 2.0. But I am not sure which length to go for. I’m stuck between 171 and 177. I currently have the prodigy 1.0 164 and love the way they feel, but want a wider more stable all mountain park ski. I am about 167ish but like long skis and am still growing.

how long will you use the skis? do you think you're gonna grow another 1-2 inches that quickly?

177s for a 167 dude is doable but if you're that guy you know it already. i say get the 171s unless you want to keep them for years or you're growing like a freakin weed and/or really want longer skis than you need. 10cm over your head won't really help anything in the park/typical groomers
