if you want a ski thats like the one u have, go for the 171cm 1080. it'll be very similar to what u got

well ya its hard to tell but it also depends on how long u like skis. Last year when I was 5'4' I rode 160's. Even tho Im just 5'7' I'll probly get the 169 cuz I'll have more ski to land on when big air is achaived...so to answer the question it's all in what u like...Look at Candide Thovex..he's a really short guy...like 5'6' and rides like 180's!!! So get what u want...
