I'm a woman but always ride mens skis. I'm 5'9" 150. I usually ride a low 170. I know you should go long with these skis but I'm concerned about maneuverability in the trees with the 180s. Any thoughts? Anyone know women who ride these?

hey Lauren, I ski the 173 and I am 5'8, medium build, expert skier. They are a perfect fit for me..seem like it would be the best fit for you too. This length handles agility and speed really well for our height/size category as women.

Thanks so much Robby. That's really helpful. I think the 173 is for me.

I'm actually skiing my fiance's 180's on non-pow days. She's about your size and height and she loves the 180s for pow days, however that's about it. They're a bit big and unwieldy for her when the snow is packed which is great b/c then I get to ski them.
