don't be scared. you can handle 177, more stable, better for landing, look more style in the air, and if you start to gain wight your skis won;t be too small.
unless your a fairly begginer skier you can handle 177, and it won;t take long to get used too. i went from 172 to 177 and now im getting 180. and im 155lbs 6feet.

seriously, at your height, you should be looking at 182s, not 167s. lines arnt race skis or anything. get a bigger ski! they are so much better longer. not quite as fun on the really small technical jibs, but everywhere else they kill. like i said, lines run really short, and they ride short because they have big rear tips. 145 is plenty of weight for that ski. i am 5'9' and skiing 177 stls. they are almost exactly as long as a 182 line. yo are a good 4 inches taller and considering 167s?!?! man up son.
opps, that was free advertising.
