Want to get some P90's. Questions about length. I'm 5'11" 190lbs, 31 yrs old. I currently ski 165 Dynastar race ski's b/c i liked the carving, stability and tight edge.
In this ski I'm looking for quick turns, good edge and stability, all mountain. Have not done much glade skiing, skis can't handle it, but would like to. So I don't want too long of a ski that I can't take in trees and turn quick.
Should I go with 165 or 172. 165 might give me similar handling to what I"m used to, but with the twin tip taking up some space, maybe 172 is good.. I know there are alot of folks that are coming down in size even into the 150's b/c of the technology and better turning ability in shorter skis...
Thoughts....

172, or even longer if you want it. 172 for quicker turns or for the east, but longer out west. World cup men ski 165 for slalom. At 5'11" and 190lbs 165 would be too short. I am 5'5" and 130 lbs, female, and i skied the Salomon Suspect 151 and it was way too short, but the Dumont 161 is much better. Twin tips are softer than other types of all mountain skis. Softer skis can be longer than stiffer skis because stiffer skis provide more stability. Twin tips also have less shape and can be skied longer.
