I'm 5,4 - 5,5.

Help = +k

Also what size should I be looking at? I've been looking at 165s.

Thanks NS!

I think that 160 to 165 will do fine. I am 15, and like 6'2" 170 pounds. I go with 171's. Ask a ski tech at your local shop. He will tell you what is the best length.

What do you ride? As for ski height I like to go about head height, mabeye even a little longer if you are still growing/riding pow or bc.

Stiffer or softer ski? More jibs or more jumps?
What does your local shop carry?
