Wayyy too small. Size up with pow skis, especially if they're rockered. I'm 5'8" and ride 189 Surface LL2s and 191 ON3P Wrenegades. If you're new to pow skiing or don't ski very hard, go a bit smaller than you would otherwise.

Go bigger.  I'm 5'10", and when I rode pow skis in Utah (I was more like 5'9" then, I felt most comfortable on 185s.  I don't own any pow skis but if I were to get some, I'd probably get 191 Caylors.

If you're a good skier, go longer. You'll have more fun.
