What size Prophet 100s should I get? I'm 5'10, 160 lbs...

What size Prophet 100s should I get? I'm 5'10, 160 lbs and ski 50/50 on / off piste. I live in the Pacific NW, see some powder and ski aggressively but not as wild as I once was....still love the trees, bumps and bowls. Should I be on a 172 or 179?

I echo the call for the 179cm Prophets. They are light and quick. I am 170 lbs and love them in bumps, crud and powder. Any shorter you would feel like there was not enough ski.

I agree with Shane that you'll be better off with the 179s. I'm 5'11", 185, ski the 179s and I would go up in size before I ever considered dropping down in size with these skis. They are light, soft, and the turn radius is tiny for a ski this size, so don't downsize.

I say that the 179 is your ski, since you still ski aggressively, but if you don't feel comfortable with it then sizing down will not really effect the performance that much.
