Yo. I'm really thinking about getting a pair of czars, but I'm not sure which size I should go with. I'm about 5'7", and 130 lbs, but I'm still 17 so I've probably got a bit left to grow. Size recommendations? Thanks!

You make a valid point, but the truth is that rockered skis are SOOOO easy to ski. They are so maneuverable. The 174 could be better in some situations though for sure. Probably a more 'everyday powder ski' where the 182 would be more of a 'big mountain powder ski'. Judging by what you are on now, stepping up to the 174 will probably be the way to go.

182.....really? I know I'll be growing some more, but I feel like that would be too big. Especially for maneuverability in tight trees? I'm not sure....my current skis are non-rockered 4FRNT MSP's, and I ski a 161 and they seem alright for me. You both probably have better/more experience with rocker than I do though.

I agree, the 182 will probably be perfect.

I'm 5'8'',135lbs, and 16 I wasn't able to demo the Czar specifically, but I have demoed similar skis, and you should go 182 for sure. Here are my reviews if you're interested. http://williamrichmondski.blogspot.com/2010/03/crystal-mountain-demo-day-3-27.html
