You are probably a 169cm ski person. That length will have decent enough float for you, and still be a manageable all-mountain deal. If you want the full powder ski, and want to be aggressive on your skis, you probably could get away with the 179 even, but the 169 really should be good enough. They are slightly longer than posted. As for Rossi vs. ObSETHed, I pick ObSETHed, since it rips hard in the big stuff, and is still easy enough to take anywhere. The S7 kills deeps, but lacks some all-mountain performance comparatively.
