Rossignol Voodoo Pro BC110 Ski - Women's

I want to use this as my backcountry ski. I was on a 166 previously for backcountry that felt too short and flimsy (but it was also 88 underfoot). My regular ski is 174 and 98 underfoot, but it feels a bit too long in the trees sometimes. I'm 5'5" and 135 lbs. Because of the rocker, does it ski a bit shorter than a 176? I'm torn between the two lengths. I want a ski that I can charge on, but I don't want to have to work really hard ALL the time. Does this make sense? Any thoughts out there?

The rocker will help the skis float more in deep snow. Since the ski is very wide (110 at the waist) they will still be a little slow going from edge to edge which makes them turn a little bit slower. While a shorter ski can correct this somewhat you should definitely try to get out on a pair of these before making a purchase.
