I'm pretty much set on getting these....

Just wondering if I should go with the 175 or 185.

I'm 18 years old, 5' 9", 135 Lbs, and can ski anything, I also have a racing background so I ski pretty aggressively.

I've heard the 175's are like snowblades... but 185 is a lot of ski

Would the 185's be too much

The tip rocker in the JJ's makes it easier to initiate a turn, so the 185 will ski shorter than their length, if you're an aggressive skier you'll appreciate the extra flotation and stability at speed in the longer length. I think the 185s would be just right...
