im getting the line anthems or invaders, and last three seasons i used line chronic sized 133s and this year im 5 foot 5 and 110 pounds. Should i get the 171s or the 161s, but i am used to a really short ski though, but they were center mounted.

I'd say 161 if your used to a short center mounted ski. You could probably get away with 171 if you want them to last you a few seasons.

You can go with both. If you like a shorter ski, then a 161 will be fine, just hope you don't grow a whole lot. But a 171 would be more stable, and could last longer, plus remember these are short skis; you might want a longer ski to be a little more stable.

If you do the math... approximately the 171 is 2 inchs taller than you, and the 161 is 2 inchs smaller than you @ 5' 5"
center mounted the 171 will feel smaller under your feet. Maybe go to a shop and check them out.

It comes down to this simple question: Do you like shorter or longer skis?
