I would say 169 would be perfect because you are light just like me.

I was going to get some anthems 161, they are a little shorter but like 93 at the waist, so I think it should be fine.

Yeah that will probably be good, but you might have to get new skis next year because you will probably grow a lot.

ar6's are 116-84-106. I had never looked at them before. They look really nice and they have a good price ($500)

My other option is some dynastar troube makers size 175. They are a lot skinnier at the waist though. I don't know which to get.

ur pretty tall for only weight 112, btu if ur a strong skier, id say u could handle a ski that sin the 165-170 range no problem, 175 at the max tho because ur so light, but if u plan on putting on some weight y next season u might wanna sack up this season and get a pair of 175's so they will last u. Check out the ar6's in a 166 or 176, walls in a 169, or check out some ace of spades
