Hi bryden vaughan, Thanks for your question. When it comes to sizing up the Volkl Chopstick Alpine Ski, the 175cm would be a good choice for you especially if spin weight is a factor. As for it to be an all-mountain ski, I wouldn't be as worried about the Chopstick being too wide as it does rather well for its girth. I would be more worried about the flex pattern being too soft for hard snow. If you like riding a bit more of a soft ski in most conditions, then by all means fire away on this ski. If you like a bit of a stiffer feel for harder snow, you may want to look at something stiffer such as the Volkl Shiro or Gotama.
