Right now i have Old 158 Volkl V's and im about 5'6/7' i was thinking about getting the 159 PEs but that doesnt really give me much more length then i already have, and the 169 PE is just too big.....
does anyone know a ski somewhere inbetween their that would do, and suggestions would help, thanks
oh yeah i already know about the 165 TRouble Maker but thats a little more money then i want to spend

The 169 Pe should not really give you a problem. I am 5'6' or 5'7' and I ride scratch 168. If you know how to ski, then you'll adapt to them fine. Personally, I think the 169s would be better for you

Maybe the line 1260 with 164?

remeber a 10 cm difference in length is only about 4 inches (give or take a little bit - different companies measure different ways).
Anyway, I am only 5'7' and my ski's this year are going to range from 170 - 188. As was said above, if you know how to ski, a little extra length isn't really gonna hurt.

dude fuck short skis, when your gettin in the 150s there more like skiboards. The perfect size for you would be like 169(which is actually 173). It might be big but if you 5'7' they SHOULD work.

169 would be perfect. I am 5'6 / 5'7 myself and I used 174 ScratcH in park and 177 - 178 for B/C. 159 would be a ski board for you... Step up and ride the correct lenght.
If you don't like the answers thenj ust dont ask....
