I'd probably go 165 cm or higher. 171+ might not be too bad for you either depending on how comfortable you are.

I'm 5 ft 6 and 145 and I ski 171 to 181 cm skis of different models.

What skis are they and how good are you, what tricks can you do without thinking?

164 would probably be fine for you I would think. I'm 5'11 and 170lbs and have some 171 skis whic I can still rip aroun on.

Depending on how quick you are growing, go for the 164s. I'm 5"5 maybe 5"6 and I'm riding 168s and 170s for next season. I think you will be ok, you may have to adjust a little. It might be difficult at first, but you will get the hang of it.

The 164 should be great for you. I had a mate who rode for armada uk and he was your height but weighed about 30lbs more and he was fine on the 164.

sorry if it's not the case, but you look like someone who will continue to grow up for still a few years. Your skis can last for a few season so you should go with the 164. 171 could have been good for you but since you're not a super advanced skier, you will have more ease with the 164.

I support this. I'm 5'6"-5'7" and I ride 181s (closer to 178 after rocker/camber). I love them
