you'd be fine on the 172s. it's all preference, don't listen to some deusch on here telling you that your skis have to be taller than you. a good rule of thumb is, they should be anywhere from your lip to the top of your head.

^people are idiots, ride what you want. I'm 5'11 and ride 172 Moships in the park (I'd rather have a 176) and 188 JP's for pow and stuff. whatever, don't succumb to peer pressure, just roll legit.
