alright then take ski that are you height... now it depends on your skill, if you have some mad skill then go with 176cm(like henrik harlaut), if you are good go with some 171cm and if you are a beginner go with 166cm.

If you consider yourself to be somewhat of a decent skier, you will have no problem with that length. If your just starting though you may wanna go slightly shorter.
