Hi all:
I am pretty strong skier at 170 lbs and 5" 6". Like the bumps, and pow. But often run into hardpack. Looking to get into a pair of JJ's. My quandry is in the length is the 165 to short?

165 is way to short! 175 will be ok except for the deeper days which you will feel like the tips are diving on you. So if you want a great do it all, fun, quick, great in moguls and a really tight turn radius go for the 175. But if you live where there is an abundance of pow then don't be afraid of the 185 if you are a strong skier. They ski and feel shorter than you would ever expect.

I'm guessing you've never skied rocked skis before, otherwise you would never have asked this question. Either that, or you really are not a very strong skier at all. 175's at the shortest, if you charge hard and all, you should be able to manage the 185's.
