I am getting the salomon threats and was wondering if I should go with the 161 or 151. I am 5,5 100 pounds and ski mostly park but some backcountry when the weather is good.
++++karma for anyone who helps me out
thanks

161 seems fine to me your still gonna be taller than them. i'm about the same height minus an inch or so and 30 pounds more and im on 171.

Yup, definitely 161. You could even go with a 171 if they have that size.

well they should be good either way unles the 151 are like to your chin or somthing which they shouldnt

if you are goan be hitting the park its usually better with a shorter ski but if you are gona be hitting the backcountry you want a larger ski.

im bout 58 and my line prphet 110s are at bout mid forehead and i love the length on them
