I am thinking about getting a pair of powder skis for next season

I am 5.6" , 125 lbs would i need skis in the 160 to 170 range?
And if so what would be skis in that range?

I'd definitely go longer than what you're used to. Many powder skis have a shorter effective edge due to early rise and such. Check out the rossi s7, armada JJ…etc etc.

Anywhere between 170 and 180. It just depends.

Somewhere between 170-175 would be my guess, 180's would certainly be too long
