Height isn't so much an issue as weight.  How much do you weigh?  And also, we can't recommend you any length if we don't know what ski you're buying!  You may be a beanpole and couldn't flex anthems, or you may be a tank and be breaking Prophet 130s left and right.  Come on now, lets get some specifics.  What are you using the ski for?

if you are 181 that is not 5'9 its.. 5'11 and a bit.. and i would go between forehead and your height.. for park skis.. centre mounting.. and like between head and 5-10cm above for pow.. personal preference..

The easiest way to convert inches to cm is to type something like

69 inches =

into the google search bar and google tells you the answer.

really though. Inches x 2.54 = same height in cm
