I am thinking seriously about purchasing a pair of the 07 AC4's but having a hard time deciding between the 177cm and the 170cm length. I am 6'1" and 200lbs. I think I am advance skier working to improve technic. I ski old school with my feet tightly together with rapid fire turns. I would much rather make quick turns instead of blasting down the hill. I love the moguls and with my quick turning ability fairly good until I hit the steeper double blacks, then I run into a little trouble.

As for the powder I make it through it but not real gracefully. I just kind of power my way through I think this is due in large part to the previous skis I have used. I don't get an opportunity to ski powder to often and I rarely have a wide waist underfoot so I sink with my 200lbs. This is one of the reasons I am looking into the AC4 but I'm concerned about its use in the moguls and tight areas.

Can someone give metheir thoughts?
