no. not soft for your size, too long, and they have a tendency to fall apart. get anthems while you still can they are sex all over the mountain

Yup, I have disorderlys and they are nice and soft. That will measure a little longer too, I'm kind of short and have the 159's but they're like 164 or something.

get some invaders from last year. the final year of them. you could probably find some for really cheap and they are one of the softest most playful skis you will find.

had some last year and absolutely loved them!

seriously dude eat some food, even a girl that weighs 115 at 5'5 is sknny as shit. eat some food and get some 178 something or others.

im 5'10" and 155 and i ski lizzies, which are sick, but i want something a little longer for my next ski.

eat some food, that weight is seriously unhealthy, i dont care what your genes are, thats just bad

You should definatly go with a ski from Line. Line tends to have a little more flex then other commpanies. I would go with the Anthems for your size but another option are the Afterbangs.

The kid didn't ask for suggestions about his weight, he asked about skis. Lay off of him.

Anywho, Elizabeths are a very fun, buttery ski. Don't let the size scare you away either, they ski a lot narrower than they actually are due to the sidecut. Also, idk where you are from but at least in my case, the width comes in really handy on the rare powder day that we get here in Northern Michigan. Despite it being marketed as a "park ski", I found that with my style of riding there really isn't a better all mountain ski. Hope that helps

Skiied the Vierli SWAG Park this weekend on my Abangs, they're so good, but a fucking insane pop, on my first jump with this ski i was throwed backwards and land at my shoulder. But when you get used to it, it's a awesome ski. Love'em no regret that I bought them. ABANGS FOR LIFE

177 Afterbangs for sure.  6 more cm on a soft buttery ski isn't going to make as much difference as you would think.  I'm 5'9 135 and ride 177 Afterbangs.  This is definitely your best choice if you don't want anthems.  They are cheap too.
