im not too huge a fan of short skis, but i think thats still a little too long for you, unless you plan on growing a bit, or do alot of pow skiing

ok let me word it like this, im 5' 1-2' 110-115 lbs. and i ski on 168s, but ive skied on long skis since they first day i put a pair on, so if ur used to long skis those wont be a problem, but if not itll take u a few days to get used to them, assuming u can actually ski

Get the 169's kid ... if at first they are a little too long for you just ski them until you're comfortable, you'll get used to em and after you do you'll love em like a warm apple pie. Better to be a little too long than too short. (Size does matter).

i am 5'4 and i ride 1080 161s. so, if you plan on not growing go with around 150-60 but if your parents are huge monsters and yur growing fast, go with a bigass honker of a ski. I suggest K2 glen plake 212s

169 isn't that a bit short if you 6 feet 160lbs.

It's more the weight than the height, since the ski needs to dissipate one's weight...

For someone who is 160, I don't tink a 169 is too short (although it may tend towards the shorter end).

At 185, I tend to ride skis around 190
