what do you ski, park, pow? what stiffness do you like? What size are you comfortable with? Are you an expert skier?

what skis are they? they will be fine for park and youll be able to do mad slalom turns and spins but when it comes to pow or crud, you might be fucked. i had 165 when i was 5'7" and i could do everything really well they were the first salomon guns

get the 168s youll be glad you did, and when it comes down to size they are really only about 4" longer than the 158s so you should have no prob
