I am identical to your size and I am ride a banana traction wide 158. Just came from 2+ ft. of snow in Jackson Hole and I was quite happy with it's performance. We may ride differently so then longer might be better for you but the shorter board allows me to whip it around though the tree while in the powder and also still flows nicely. It really depends on what you like and how you ride.

Drew, Anything I have ever heard from guys i talk to in shops who have riden these boards, (C2 bananas w/ magnatraction) is that the technology is so far ahead of any other board that you can go much smaller than what you think you would normally ride. They ride the powder like nothing and shread the groomers with ease. In other words, dont thin you have to go as big as you may have in the past.

I would go longer. I got a Nidecker 167 Ultralight wide for this season. I am 6-3 235lbs boot size 11. Much more stable on curves than my old Arbor Crossbow 166.

Drew, In my opinion the 165 cm board is the way to go. You will be sinking like and anchor in any type of fresh snow on the 161.
