Question about ski lenght. I weigh 140 lbs and am 5'8"....

By Ranked #545 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis March 17, 2009

Question about ski lenght. I weigh 140 lbs and am 5'8". I am wondering whether I should get the 170s or 178. I ski on narrow (100,67,88) 177 now and they are fine ( would not want to go shorter with this ski for sure). I have an advanced ski ability and ski mainly in the backcounty and want a ski for all conditions that is still light. BTW I am also swithcing from tele to AT.I would be inclined to get the 178's but it seems strange that someone of my size would take the biggest size they make. Am I missing something? Will someone over 6ft with advanced ski ability just have to choose another model that comes in a bigger size?
