skis should be between forehead and top of head. imo
im guessing those fit that standard. so anywhere 160-165 would work.

unless youre really agressive, i would wait until youre about 5'5" or 5'6" before stepping up to around a 170

just my opinions. the ski needs to feel right on your feet.

It really depends on what you are skiing... I'm about 5'1" and I have 155s for coaching, 161s for just messin around, and 172s for pow but I ride them almost everyday. Hope that helped!

im 5'6" - 5'7" ish and i ride 161 and a 170 pair
so your set with a 161 since you probably are going to grow a bit so you will grow into them im guessing
