If your comfortable with your skis, stick with 'em but I would probably get longer skis.

if your 5'11" and you have 169's you know theres a big problem. and they don't come up to your forhead, and if they do your not 5'11".

The bigger the skis you're able to ride is directly related to the size of your erect penis.

Whoops, and if you are a girl, then it inversely relates to the diameter of your nipples.
