I am 5'8" 140 lbs and a pretty aggressive skier. I was wondering what size would be better for me, the 160's or the 167's. They will be used both in the backcountry of montana and at the resorts. Also, I plan on mounting diamar fritschi A/T bindings . . . any comments? In terms of the skis, I was suggested the shorter ones for ease of turning in the powder but I already ski 168's that are pretty stiff skis. Is the length really going to make much of a difference where the phat luvs are so soft?

Given you height and weight, I would reccomend the 167s. Given that you ski 168s already, go for the 167s.
