Hey Cinski.....After much looking for my wife and her demo under fire at Aspen with 3 ft of snow..she went with the Head Wild Thang and loves it. Now this has a 71mm waist and she does not care to ski this on groomers all day.

She is 5'3, 106lbs level 7 skier. Her front side ski is Stockli.

I think if you're a strong skier, staying with either men or female skis in the 68mm waist would be a good choice for all mountain.
You did not mention your weight but that is a factor that dicates "float ability" of a particular ski.

My daughter is a 8/9 skier who lives in Boulder, skis everything and her everything ski is the K2 Burnin'Love....She's 140lbs, 5'5" and skis it in a 16o length.

I think for you in todays ski, the length would be somewhere between the center of your eyes and top of your forehead. If you're weigh more, maybe going to the 167 length would be spot on.

Hmmm..skiing a 176 XScream....a lot of length compared to how the newer skis are being sold.

K2 Burn' Luv could be a great choice...

Best,
Gary
