Can someone recommend length of ski? 5'10", 185 lbs, advanced but not extreme skier. Plan for touring, back country telemark and some resort. Grew up skiing long boards (210 +) so going short is unfamiliar. Would 168 be uncomfortably short or ackward? Is 181 the more "normal" length?

Go for the 181. Given your size, ability, and previous skis, the 181 seems like the right call. I am 5'4" and 130 and the 168 was a bit shorter than I would have liked when I demoed it.
