The type of ski matters too, if the skis are heavy and stiff like the PEs then go shorter, or light and flexy like Lines, then go longer. Also it depends on what kind of stuff you are doing and your ability. If you like to charge lines then go longer; ride park, shorter. I am 5'10', 140, and I ride 180 AR5s for park, pow, and everything else.
