Quick question:
I am looking to purchase a pair of 05/06 k2 Public Enemys. The problem is I have to buy them online and my time frame to buy them is limited. Thus I cannot demo them. I am 5'-11" and around 160 lbs. I am looking at the 179 cm length. I am an agressive skier, whos looking for an everyday, all around ski. Yes, I have used the search function. I find the majority of the people say just go for the longer size. However, I'm not sure if that will be to much ski for me. Thank you so much for your help!

That was a quick ass raping in the yard
I'd guess you'd be fine with 179 or 189 depending on your preferred lines: trees and bumps vs speed, pow, and long turns.
Go here grasshopper. And tread lightly on the rice paper:

I don't recall them making a PE in 189 the last time i checked. 179 is definitely what i would go for if i was 5'11" 160

K2's run long if I remember correctly, so I think you would be fine with the 179.
