Anyone have any idea of what size skis I should get? I'm 5ft 3 (159cm)and weigh 142lbs (64kg) and I want to ski pretty much everything- park, piste and BC. Also any ideas of skis I should buy with a limited budget?

snowblades rule all, but on a more serious note-salomon 1080s-161

I already have a pair of snowblades but they're lame. Skiing far better and more versatile. Snowbladers are all rude, fat, rich kids.
I'm not fat just built like a brick out house.

when i was around your height i had the line 153. it is a sweet ski for a shorte guy. but just becuz ur small dont be afraid to go big with your ski size. i'm about 5'7 and i have the PE 169.

165 concepts. or the 161 1080s would work... 164 1260s.

You're not that short... and you don't weigh alot, but you're not so light that you need the junior skis.
