Hi, I'm 5 foot 4 inches or 160 centimeters, and i want to get the blue house mr 164's, but i dont know if i can handle the ski. I am pretty good. 80% park rider. 20% all mountain. In the past i used skis that were up to my nose. but i dont know what to do. and also, please give me your opinion on bluehouse mrs please. thank you. +karma for those of you who help. thanks. Oh and also im 14 and weigh 120 lbs.

Shouldn't be a problem if your technique is solid. I'm 5'6" 120 pounds. I like skis around 165cm for groomers/park, and 175cm-ish (longer if rockered) for powder/crud stuff.



180cm+ is pushing it in most models - I find that length too heavy to be really manageable in park and tight spots, but super solid in crud.
