I'm an advanced-intermediate skier (fine on blues, blacks aren't as pretty). 5'11 and 150 lbs. I'm gonna be living in VT (Jay's Peak/Stowe/ice) and wanna know if the MSP in a 171 would be right for me?

The msp in my opinion is the BEST ski for hard snow conditions you can buy for in a twintip. you could get by with 171's--but i would go 181 for 2reasons they are fatter so they will give you better powder performance also as you get better you will want a longer ski. they are pretty stiff but you sould still be able to handle the 181'sAdd: i really think you dont need skis this fat for skiing in the north east. a good pow day is so rare that you'll get better performance on hardpack/ice with something a little smaller that can handle pow, these would be better out west i think. they would work well when the conditions are right, but the conditions are hardly even right
