no dude. 161 would be too short for the long run. remember these are symmetrical skis so they will ski alot shorter. get at least a 171.

Yeah, I'd agree.  In the long-run, especially when you start doing some filling out, the 171 would do a bit better for you in that ski.

If you would feel more comfortable in something short like a 161, you might be better off going with something a little bit stiffer, but still symmetrical like the Volkl Wall.  You could also look at something like the K2 Extreme which is more of an all mountain twin in a 164.

Hope this helps.

go with the 171, the symmetrical design makes them feel short

171 is way too small for you, go with a 178.
