Alright Howe....you could ski either length for sure.

If you are more of a laid back skier that likes to cruise, nice easy turns with similar turn shapes... then go with the 167...if you like to crush, use lots of energy skiing the trails edges, look for off camber stuff, get air on jumps, love speed and the forces of  GS turns  and dance in the slopped and crud snow...get the 176's.

If you ski at all out west, the 176 for certain is the better choice. If you ski eastern snow only, then figure out if your a cruiser or crusher!

I'm extremely comfortable on the 176 length but then again, I like to crush mostly and cruise partially. Just depends on your mental attitude on skis.

The rest we've talked about. I've got about 30 days on my 84's so I think I know a little something about that ski...well beyond demo.

Just understand who you are and buy accordingly!
