180 is way too big for you. go 165-170

The 158's are probably grom too, not as quality. If they're the ones from alst year there was something about how they're advertised as an adult ski, but they were really actually grom? Correct me if I'm wrong but soemthing of the sort did happen. 160+ range will probably be good, but ski on whatever you feel comfortable on basically. To each his own.

Will yous till be growing up???

I'd go with something like 165-170 if you are kinda young.
this way if you buy a good pair of skis, they will last more then one season

158 is only 2cm shorter than you, that should be fine for park.

It goes as follows 5" and under (grom skis) 5"-5'5" (165-170) 5'5"-5'10" (170-180) taller than 5'10" get higher than 180, thats about it, thats what I think is right, fuck weight, just get a ski to acompany your weight.

what's up now bitch

he's 5'3, and you're recommending skis that are like 8 inches taller than him? are you stupid?

it depends dude, but don't get something that towers over you. especially if you're skinny too, because you'll have zero control over the ski. get something in the 170 zone.

stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

come to think of it, 170 is probably even too tall since that's about 5'7 or so, so maybe even around a 165 would be good.

no way dude get a 170 at minimum it will make you life a whole lot easier especially if you go fast at all. i would almost go 175 but, definately dont go under 170 they will be so unstable with any speed.

I'm about the same height..maybe lighter weight, I don't know. I stick around 160-165 cm but would go up to 170 on a fatty ski...but Pretty much any ski 160-170 cm is going to be fine. If you're really new to skiing, go toward the shorter end, it will easier to control. If you tend to like a longer ski, then go for the bigger range. It doesn't make a huge difference. You will get used to whatever you're skiing on.
