ok so im 5'2" i found a pair of last years 4frnt stl 177s and the guys that worked at the shop said there too big for me, although everyone i ski with sais they will probably be fine. I also tried my friends mojo 90s today and i think there like 190s and they were really big for me, but they still handled great on rails and stuff. doesnt that mean i can probably handle some 177s?

Unless you're pretty heavy I'd recommend something shorter. More in the realm of a 165 or so, give or take.

You'll have much better control and maneuverability.

177 is a tad to big, get one size smaller.

how many cm's is that? and its weight that determins ski length, not height.

they would be almost 10cm over your head. For a pow ski it might be ok but not park.

you could ride a 177 and be fine but it might be better if you ride something a little shorter
