Well I feel a bit stupid not asking this with my original width question.

Given that I'm looking for a ski in the 75-85mm width range, what length should I be looking at?

Based on the recommendations on the manufacturers websites (eg. Dynastar.com), I thought I'd get the skis approx 178 long.

But I notice from an earlier thread that JC skis his Peak 78 in 165. Wow, that's short! And by all accounts he is heavier than me (I'm 5'10", 180 pounds/82kgs).

Any tips on length?

Thanks.
