I ski in the east, and i want a ski that can shred pow, and handle big landings in the park. Im 5'8 150, and Im not sure what size id want. either the 169, or the 179. Im pretty sure I want these skis, Im just undecided on the size.

True, K2's run a little long, but the fujas are rockered, which will make them ski a little shorter. I say go with the 179, especially if you're gonna mount these toward core center. And btw, I'm also 5'8 and I got these in 179 and they're only about 2" taller than me barefoot.

The size for you would really be a tough call, because k2's run pretty long. The 169's would probably run about as tall as you, or a little shorter. The 179's would be above your head a good amount. I found from experience that k2's generally run around 3-4cm longer than printed. I think you'd be happy with both sizes, but I think the 169 will be enough ski for you. The 179 might just bog you down.
