I have another dreaded sizing question...
I am 5' 10" and 145 lbs and typically use skis in the 170-180 range, what size do you think would work best for me? Right now I am leaning towards the 175s because this will be a touring setup (dynafits) and I typically don't ski that aggressively. However, after looking at the actual running lengths of the ski at bd's website it would seem that I could bump it up to the 185 length and have about the same running length as a 170 traditional ski.
Any thoughts?

So i would say GO BIG. i am about your size and i am skiing a 185 and a 188. and with this early rise there is no question. Go with the 185 you will be a Happy skier. I am on the Megawatts and the 188 is a perfect length for me.
