if you are short enough to ski a 162 you probably don't need anything higher than a 12 din binding.

like said above if you are skiing 161 you probably don't need or want turntables. How tall are you and how much do you weigh?

Dude go buy some skis that are 180+cm, someone your size should be be buying skis in the longest size they come in. 

A 162cm ski would be perfect if you were about a foot shorter and about 100lbs lighter. 

To answer you question though, get a pair of 14 or 15 DINed turntables and you will be good to go.  You could also look into the Jesters.

i highly suggest at least looking in to some longer skis.
you may hate it at first and i'm sure it will feel odd, but you'll be much better off in the long run.

Cuz you aren't really skiing.  You're just playing.  Those on someone your size are like using rollerblades.

Especially if you center mount them, your skis are going to feel like they are 150s...
