I'm 5'9, 145 lbs. I'm 23, a good skier, and I prefer to ski tree runs in CO. Do you think the 172 would be ok, or do I need to size up?

Thanks!
Dylan

Go with the 180 or 188 for sure! They ski very short. The 172 is way too short for you. My girlfriend is 5'6" 125 lbs and she can throw the 172's around just fine!

Sweet thanks. So does that mean you think I'm kinda in between a 172 and 180? I was thinking that too, but leaning towards the 172 for better maneuverability in the trees.

172 sounds good but that is as small as you should go.
