I'm still unsure of what ski length to get...I'm almost 5'4' (more like 5 3 and a half) and weigh about 126 lbs....I'm probably getting the Concept Pros...What do you think? 150 or 165? I'm riding 158's right now and I like em...I think 150's would be a tad on the short side for stability...but the 165's would be quite a bit taller than me...
What do you think?

If you live out west were there's lots of snow the 165's would probably make a sweet all around twin. Or if you like to Go really big the extra length will help. Or maybe find a different ski that comes in a closer lenth that you like, unless you getting a good deal on the concepts.

Yeah, well I'm in the East so it's mostly hardpack and several good snow days a season...so, if you think 165 best all round...I'm just afraid I'd have trouble maneuvering them cause I'm not very big...
Plus it's easier to spin with shorter skis...

Well, if you are definatly getting the concept, I'd go with the 165, you'd most likely adapt to the longer length really quickly. But perhaps you should look at other skis beside the Concept Pros...

Well, the reason I'm thinking of the Concepts is that they're a good all mnt. ski...Some people say they're without a doubt the second best to the 1080...so...Any suggestions? Maybe 165 isn't so bad...
any other twins that are decent all mnt. performers? beside the 1080...
