dont get the 167s. longer skis give you more style and stability.

I would say that those are too short. BUt it really depends on how good of a skier you are and if you want to ski on little bitch sticks

why should he look at a longer ski? not everyone likes to have skis over their head. I'm about 5'9 and i ride my 160 AR5s most of the time. i rip through the park/ groomers fine on them and they dont look extra short or anything. 8 cm difference isnt gona kill for a park ski...

im like 5'7 pr 5'8 and i got the 177 1260s. i went up from 164 last year to the 177s this year. it takes a tiny bit of getting used to but, after a day or two it feels normal

im 5'7 and ride a 172 mad trix...had a 164 line 12's before....switched to a long length in the mad trix for no real reason cept to tell the diff between me and my bro's skis (same ski and binding, his are 163 though). the 166 pollard is about our height anyways and the 186 pollard is just huge so still with the 166, it be fine

i ment cronics...177 would be fine too if you want a longer si, you will barely notice the difference between riding the 167 and 177 unless u were riding 150's before

5'9' 125lbs and 157's baby! Alright!

I'm all about the short sticks. More stable, maybe, more effort, yes.

167s should be fine, but line needs to make the pollard in a 173. that would be perfect, but their skiis do run short, because of the massive tips on them

it depends on where your riding. if your just riding park/groomers then a shorter ski. if your going for powder/steeps youll want the longer ski for more stability/speed.

eastAR5 and Brookin_boy grow some nuts. your 5'9' and riding 160 / 157? ummm that hit like your chin maybe no like neck. longer skis help not hender. i'm 5'9' and riding 182's. thats fucking 22cm longer then yours. i use to ride 169's but they felt way to small and once i rode a longer ski i would Never go back below a 175 for anything.

a 177 would be better.lines run a good 4 cm shorter than anything else. ( apair of 182 MO ships are exactly the same heigt as my 177 STLs. also, becasue they have such a large tip, they ski shorter than most other twintips. definatly go up a size. plus you are a good skier. you could handle them. they are a light ski.

opps, that was free advertising.

i was around 5'7' when i got my 169's and i did that because i was new to park and shop help, thats why it is nice to buy from shops they can help you choose a ski that best fits your ridding style/height, until you know exactully what you want in skis.
