FWIW, my girlfriend is 5'7" and 130. She's athletic, but not superstrong, also just coming back to skiing after 15 years off. She's gonna be on 167s even though we will be in the backcountry 90% of the time. They have full camber with maybe a couple cms of early rise (the "stealth rocker") so even w/ twintips, they ski pretty true to size.

I'd either go 176, or 182. If you like to go fast, stomp big airs, and will be skiing steep and deep, or are a heavier guy, I'd go for the 182. The "mini rocker" will make it ski a little shorter than you'd think, but you don't need to size up a big amount like you would for a full reverse camber or early rise ski. I guess I'd push the longer ski, but if you like to make lots of tight turns and farm your runs, a shorter ski would be better. If you like to go big, then go big. Enjoy!
