150 is wwwaaaay too short, im your height and i rock 160 and its short on me. id go for a 170, but if your just looking for a good ski to jib around on you should be good

at one point i was 5'7'' and on 160's mounted at center. I thought i was really comfortable with them, but then everyone told me i needed to go bigger. I moved up to 176 at center, and it felt so much better hitting jumps and even rails, but sorta heavy with the fkx bindings i had on them. Now i'm on 170's, and find them to be a little smaller, but they feel so much lighter. If i could pick a size i would go with 172-178 cm ski right now.
