Trying to decide whether to get the 162 or 170 length in this ski. I'm a good skier on volunteer patrol at Winter Park, CO. Will be setting it up with NTN bindings. Any recommendations?

How tall are you? I'm a very solid skier too, and I love my Kikus, but sometimes it feels like my 170-cm ones are a bit too much. They're so wide and burly that the shorter length would still provide ample float, and then I'd have better agility. I'm still glad to have my 170 Kikus, but that is the one thing I'd change. I'm 5'6" ... if you're way taller, that could change things. But that's my take.
