Need help with ski size

I'm 5'1 and I am wondering if a 153 is too small for a park ski for me. My other options are 164 and 163 (since i am sponsored by faction it needs to be a faction ski, and these are the only park ski sizes that fit my range)

Suggestions?

dude i would honestly go 163s if your gonna just center mount them, i also assume your a youngun and will grow more too, so this would be optimal. 153 would work though, since you are very short. im 5 and i ride 178 dynastars, and those have no rocker at allso they ski alot more like a 184 and i love them.

Explain to me how this works. Measurements of skis don't take rocker into consideration so you're 178 is not going to ski like a 184. Get educated before you try to give people advice. Not trying to be a dick just trying to learn ya up.
