I'm about 173 pounds and appear to be right at the breaking point between a 175 and 185 length for the 2009 Karhu XCD Guide backcountry ski. According to the Karhu web page, I should probably go with a 185. Other web pages say go with a 175 length up to 180 pounds. With a day pack on I'll probably go 175 pounds to 180 pounds I suspect. Any ideas on a length I should chose for the XCD Guide.

This really depends on your personal preference. If you like your skis to be a little longer, you'll have increased speed and stability along with more ease to float over the fresh powder. The shorter length will be easier to control and manuever. You would be fine with either size really.
