Getting her some phat boards for Christmas and am torn between the 168 and 178. We live in the east but take trips west and to Europe about 2x per year. They will obviously be used only on deep days and at Jay, MRG, the bush, etc.. She is 5'10" and 165 and an excellent skier. She normally skis on 170 bump skis, 168 twinnies and 180 GS/Skiercross skis.
Any thoughts

I think some naked pictures of your girlfriend might help us decide what skis she will need.

178 - get the extra stability and surface area.

I'd go with the 178. I'm 5'8" and my powder skis are 180s.

Thanks for the input. Naked pics might be out of the question, but these new powder sticks will help my cause. My thought all along was 178 but I just wanted to make sure. I know a couple of friends her height (guys) who have been getting 170ish skis and I just wanted to make sure. It sounds like 178 will be it.
