I am getting into ski mountaineering and have heard that ski mountaineers use shorter ice axes than mountaineers. I'm 5'10" and measure 27 inches from finger tip to ground with ski boots on. What length do you recommend?

I have used the 65 cms length for years and found it to be a little long yet its length feels real secure when you plunge it into the snow. Some people like smaller axes but when its deep and steep longer is better.
