the 175 is about the same length as the LPR 176cm, but it includes a full tip/tail, therefore is effectively like a 170. If you train at all for skiing, these will rock for you. they are relatively stiff and heavy compared to others in this class of ski. I ski the 175, weigh 135, 5'2" of pure power, ;) , and I love the skis; never wanted anything else when I'm out on them. I don't enjoy shouldering them, however.

I disagree. Depending on the skier you are the 175 is a forgiving ski. Yes it will charge but it can be playful as well. It just depends on how you ski and what you're looking to get into.

mabey they'd work but probably not these are a pretty hard charging ski and will be a little hard for you to handle. if it was a ski like the jj I'd say go for it but these aren't a super playful ski. these probably won't work unless you ski really fast and aggressively.
