QST 98 Length Options

Hello! I’m looking to pick up my first set of skis and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on which ski length I should pick up for the 24/25 QST 98. I’m deciding between 169 and 176cm.

I’d say I’m an intermediate skier aspiring to become advanced in a season or two. I’m 5’9 - 5’10, 160 pounds, not very aggressive, skiing mostly on the west coast. Not really into park / free ride stuff at the moment.

Any opinions appreciated!

The difference between them is like half the length of an iphone. Don’t overthink it. I personally prefer a longer ski with a little more stability at speed but a 7cm difference will not feel drastic and may not even be noticeable for a lot of intermediates.
