it depends on your ability level too, i would say 177 if you're a ripper, or if you're startin out go with the smaller size

the steele spence pro model right? i could be way off the mark with that though.

personally i'd go with the 177s, but in the end its up to how you ski, if youre aggressive, longer is better, is you're just starting out, or arent as strong a skier, go shorter.

that Axis shop up in sauveur or whatever it is would probably sell em, other than that though, i dont think theres all THAT many people that would hold em

Id say go with the 177. I go with the oldschool rule of having skis about how tall you are. Most of the time they are shorter, but it generally works out for me
