169 would be perfect, and possibly a 179, but that could be pushing it

Get the 179, long skis is the new steeze (sarcasm).
Go with the 169, if your gonna center mount them, mostly because you'll have more stability with a 169 than a 159. Esepecially if your center mounting them.

you midgets do not need skis that are 6 inches taller than you are. that's just stupid. you're not going to have any control, and you're going to look like complete morons. 169 max
