I'm a bit under 5'7'' and about 155 pounds. I ski a pretty bad 162 cm Solomon ski right now, but I am a very aggresive skier at about level 8. Would the 170 cm Gotama's be best for me? I am going on 2 week backcountry trip in Teton Valley this winter.

I would recommend the 178. I am 5'6" 150lbs. I originally ordered the 186, but it was a lot of ski to throw around especially in tighter terrain. I ski the 178 now and love it. With that said, I mounted my bindings -2 back from the freeride line. This gace me a little more up front so the ski is still stable at high speeds and quick in tight spots.

I would personally suggest a 178. The rocker will make the ski shorter than it is, and anything under 173cm is too short for you, especially in pow.
