169 they measure to 173 and thats okay in length definitely not 159s you'd wash out on jumps , and possibly look into the 179

that's one confusing question you have there. are you 5'8" or 5.8 feet tall?

He's swedish that's probably explains why he has a hard time explaining himself. It's definitely a good effort.
I think you should go for the 169s.

I'm 5 feet 8 inches and I'm riding the 169 this year. It measures a bit longer than 169 true (about 172 or 173) and for me the 179 is just to long (even if it was a true 179 it's too long, but 182 is just way too long for me). DON'T GET THE 159!! It has rocker so it'll ski even shorter than that, it'll be way to difficult for you to land unless you're perfect.

How heavy are domains compared to other skis? Also I was told by my coach to not ski rockered park skis, do u have any reason why he would say that?

What kind of coach and for what kind of terrain?
Cause I could see rockered park skis being kinda hard in the pipe (although, it can be done - Margetts rocks Silencers in the pipe) cause you really need like every inch of edge, but other than that I don't see much of a flaw.

they seem perfect length. about same exact length as me since they do run longer then 169. i dont know what size skis u are used to but i think they are gonna be just right for you size wise.
