Eh, if you're still growing go for 173s, I don't normally reccomend longer skis but you'll like it, they're light and you'll get some stability.

I'm pretty much done growing but I think the 173 are going to be too long

Had the 164 last season and often wanted more.  I'm the same height and weight about 20lbs more than you.  Good luck.

Well, if anything you'd want to adjust to skiing longer skis than buying shorter and wanting more.

I just skied 171 Liberty Park skis in Japan. Coming from Rosignal 161's the difference was nothing. Defiantly get the 173's!
