If I were you I would wait tell the season before you start lookin and then you will know exactly how tall you are and have a better chance of gettin a size that will last 2 seasons and maybe 174 pes if you want a stiffer ski or some ar6 176 or some stls

i ride short skis and i feel gay for it. im like 6'4" and i have 179 PEs. i would have gotten bigger but those were the biggest ones that were on sale. and i got them really really cheap so it was worth it

you can't choose ski size just based upon height...you have to account for weight too
