I am about 5'5 - 5'6 and thinking of getting the bent chetlers. The smallest size they make is 183 so I'm wondering if I would be handle the skis or if not I would have to make a different choice on powder skis this year

we need to know how much you weigh, since thats more important for ski size than height..
also, 5'5 - 5'8 is quite a big range..

I'm 5'8-9 and 140 pounds, and I have bought Bentchetlers but not ridden them yet. I know people who are smaller that have ridden them. If you are growing and planning to keep them a few seasons you could certainly manage them but I'd guess something a little smaller and a little narrower would be more fun for this season.

hahaha thxs for your advice I got a good deal on the bentchetlers since im friends with the manager of the store and he offered $630 I just snagged them. I guess ill have to hit the gym more often and eat more and beef up to handle these babies
