Ski Length Recommendation

Just wondering if anyone had recommendations for a park ski length at 5’5” height, potentially brand as well. I know brands and good skies just asking for someone with experience. I’m primarily a freeride skier and got the offer to go to the windells camp with this summer with some friends so I thought whatever why not. Thanks

Around 160 -165 should be good

It depends a lot on the ski. Mainly if it is a super rockered ski or not.

What ski are you looking at. Any where between 163- 175 would probably be good. Some skis run short. You also may like long skis so it depends on the model and your style.

Entry level park rider I'd recommend in the 170ish area. If you are a bit more advanced some where 172-177. As someone mentioned above, some skis ride shorter than others. So in that case you'd size up. Ability level, age, skier type, east coast/west coast, rails vs jump, dong size all play into ski length.
