What size? I'm 5"11", 140, and used to all-mountain skis in the mid 170s.

Well, I'm light and not super-aggro, so I'm usually hesitant to step up to the longest length of any ski, but I feel like with the short sidecut and the big rocker on this thing I might not lose much maneuverability while gaining that much more float. Maybe shorter would be more versatile though?

I would say that if you wanted something a little more backcountry playful, the 175 would be about right, but if you wanted something for deeper conditions and stuff like that, and you ski aggressively, then you could handle the 185. Up to you.
