its mostly personal preference but how good you are and the level of park skiing you do also comes into play.

I would say stay the same length or +/- a few cm unless youre still growing, then go a little longer up to probably 170

damn your skis are tiny. Mine are pretty much the exact same height as me. The extra length is super nice on landings

im 5'9 140lbs and i ski 180 early rise fischer mavens in the park. They even feel a bit short still, I like to have rockered park skis be around the top of my head, maybe a little longer even, but i do do a lot of actual skiing on them too and not just park. you have to remember how much less usable length there is with rockered skis on hard packed snow if you actually want them to ski well.

haha i'm 5'11 and riding 181 jmos next season. they are just about as tall as me.

5'11" = 180.34 cm lol, so i'm shorter than my skis. i'll have some nice strong legs!

they're rockered though so it's comparable to something shorter than you ;)

When a husband and a wife love each other very much, they hug eachother real close. When Jesus sees them hug like this, he smiles. That night when the mommy and daddy are sleeping, Jesus flies down to earth, into their house through the chimney and into their bedroom. Then he takes off the mommy's underwear and pees in her butt. 9 months later, the mommy poops out a baby. And that's the miracle of life. - JohnLemieuxPHOTO
