Considering getting a pair but unsure about length. Currently skiing tele on Atomic Snoop Daddys (122-88-109), 163 cm. I'm 5'7", 165 lb. I ski on and off piste, moderately difficult stuff, bumps, not terribly aggressive but planning to ski harder stuff with time. My skis, though fun, feel a tad short, so I was considering increasing length to about 175 cm, but see several skiers settling on the Sluff in 184 cm as standard and the 174 cm as "for the girls." Any suggestions?

If you are aggressive, and want added speed and longer turns, then the 184 is more to your billing. From what I'm reading, because you aren't terribly aggressive (and because of your size), the 174 sounds like the better option. 174 isn't for the girls, it's a size geared for you. I'm 5'10 and heavier- 175lbs, and I ski the 184, but debated on the Goliaths for the extra length. I'm very happy with my pair, but then again I am an aggressive skier.

My son and I both demo'd the Movement skis in Aosta in December 2010. His 169cm, mine 177cm. I am 5'10" an expert skier and ski everywhere. Our 7 magical days of powder where punctuated by these amazing skis although, I would not have wanted any longer and my son elevated his abilities to keep pace with me. If I can find 177's I will definitely add them to my quiver! Good luck!
