2 Questions: I'm looking for a versatile ski for backcountry AT as well as skiing resort powder/tight trees in Steamboat. Is this the ski for me or should I be looking at the K2 Sidestash/others? Second: What's the best size for my needs? (I'm 5'6", 175lbs)

ICELantic Nomads, Seth Vicious, and the Coomback all come to mind. Something right around 100mm under foot seems to the be the sweetspot for a BC/resort pow set-up. I would go with a 170-175 unless you rip pretty good. You're heavy enough for a 180, but could be a bit long for 5'6", esp for the boat's tight trees.
