159s you would have to be in the low 4 foot range anybody 5 foot or taller should be on atleast 170s in my opinon

also depending on skil level!

if you know how to ski go bigger if you are a beginer go a little bit smaller not much

^also depending on where you ski. If you ski in powder most of the time, then definitely, but if you live on the east coast and ski your typical east coast mountain, than there is no need for a 5 foot person to have 170s.

ski length should largely be determined by weight, not height. So say how much you weigh, and people can recommend a ski length for ya

I dream of winter.

Okay, I'm 5' 7" 115 pounds and I just bought scratch pros 148. They were the same length as my carve skis so i bought them. uhhh this is going to be my first year of park though and the only thing ive done are flat boxes and 180s. Is that cool? I mean they come up to my chin.

^well you'll probably get a bunch of crap from people on this site and you should probably be on 170s if you live on the east coast, and bigger if you ski pow but its your choice
