I am 5 foot 6, 145 pounds ... wondering if the CZAR 174 will fit me or shall I get the CZAR 182? I am an advanced intermediate skier ... i want to use them in all types of side and backcountry conditions from big mountain to trees ... will the 174 be too short since they are rockered skis? thanks!

It is debatable.... If you are a good skier I would say the 182's but with your height and weight you may be alright with just the 174.... It does have quite a bit of tip rocker, which will make the ski, ski about 4 to 6 cm shorter. If you like skis that go fast go with the 182 but if you like something really responsive in trees then the 174. hope this helps! Chris
