So......I live and ski in Utah (hey, our snow makes up for the lack of anything else like nightlife!). Mostly ski places like the Bird or DV, sometimes Alta, pretty much any place with decent challenges. It's been awhile since I bought new sticks. I used to ski Sol Screams and love them, but it's time for an upgrade. I'm 5'6" and a solid 170, semi-agressive but a nice day of cruising is nice too. Also like to sneak off into the pow once in awhile. Any suggestions on a new set-up?

Bob, I'm 5'8", 160, and I would ski these in the 183. I am a really aggressive skier though. 176 is the length you would feel most comfortable on. You will find the best balance for what you looking for out of that length.
