If I converted correctly 5' 6" 1/2 = 1,69m so 172 should work perfect for you

how much do you weight? it depends, if your anywhere from 100-130 i would say the 163, and if your above that then rock the 172

I guess the 172s, you would be better with like a 166 though if you do mainly park but i don't know what ski you want so i can't really know.

your like the same size as me and i currently have 174s and i cant handle the length as much as i would like to. they're okay to ride and stuff but as far as the fun level, i have way more fun on my 161's. definately get 163's or watever they are. who cares if they're a little short. its way more fun.
