i always get skiis that are roughly about the excact same hight as i am, im about 5-8 and my skiis r 174cm and they fit perfect.....but its really about how u prefer to have your leneght of skiis, some people like longer skiis and some like shorter skiis cause they seem to have more control of them but me i like skiis the same hight as i am...

peace

im pretty sure weight matters, weight and your ability matter, you dont want to weigh 220 and ride 138's. i would check this if your still deciding https://www.newschoolers.com/ns3/web/forums/readthread.php?thread_id=165118&
