well it wud help us determine a size if you told us a lil more about your friend like his skill level the type of sking he does... but i would say go with the 161's cuz then if he grows they will last em for awhile

I would definetly go with the 151. I guess it sort of depends on how good of a skier he is. If he feels like he can stomp yard in a 161, more power to him.

based off those percentages id go with a 161, but for a 4'11'' kid i would go with a 151, so it depends on if he feels confortable on longer skis
