Anyone care to offer a length recommendation?
I'm 5.11, 140 lbs, moderately aggressive skier (expert by Voile chart), prefer powder, trees, and mod. steeps ("all mountain" category on same chart). Voile recommends 170-180, which isn't very helpful when the skis are 173 or 183.
Thanks,
Chris

Well as a powder ski I would say the bigger you can go the better it will be. If you think you can handle the 183, which you most likely could, then grab those. If you want maximum maneuverability and less float, get the 173. Personally I think you need the 183.
