depends on your ski level man. I am 5'10' and a decent skier and I used to ride 191. Up to you and your ability. If you are a good skier, go longer :)

now the old man sits until the days when time stood still, the hours always seem to fade, but the memeories never will. All the love that you gave me, the dreams in the night. Now I just want to thank you, while the day's still light.

yeah it doesn't depend so much on your height as to your weight, how aggressively you ski, and the stiffness of the ski.
