I'm buying line invaders and im riding a 151 right now and have no complaints but for my new skies should I get the 161s or 151s , im 5,4 110 lbs I want a ski that I wont grow out of but something I can still spin and shred with

All help would be appreciated, thanks

161's. if at first you can't handle them, you will eventually. you'll get stronger and you'll learn how to control them. go big or go home
