Phat Luvs for wife.

I will be getting my wife Phat Luvs for Christmas this year. Trying to decide between the 153s and the 160s. My wife is 5'4, 125, very strong skier, but not too agressive. She does prefer the short-radius to big carve turns on the off-piste.

She skis everything except the most hardcore park and the most hardcore big mountain.

Opinions? Thanks.

What does she ski now? I would say have her try out both and pick one. I say whatever makes her feel the most comfortable since nothings worse then a crabby wife in the cold on a long life line.

Thanks a lot for all the feedback folks. I have decided I will get her the 160s for sure. We were actually going to get 165 Pocket Rockets for her last year but decided against it because we felt they were just a hair too long. So these 160s should be perfect. Plus I haven't had even one remote suggestion for the 153s so it sounds like that size would be for much lighter/shorter skiers...
