yo dude i almost got pandoras. from what i hear they are super solid.

Moment makes the Pika, its 112 underwaist and 160, dont know if thats too long for you. Its a womans ski but in my opinion has one of the sickest graphics of their entire line.

But if i were you i would go for the Line Pandora in 152, sounds like such a sick ski

Icelantic Scout. Or Rossi S3. My friend (whos about ur height) has watever the shortest size is (proly like 160) and they are fine. If your a moderatly strong skier, then you should easily be able to ski a 160
