K2 Domain Sizing?

So I'm looking for new skis this year and have my mind set on the Domains. But my only question is what size. I'm around 5'5/5'6, and weigh around 105 (thats a really big guess)? I ski 50% rails and 50% park. I ski at a mountain that gets some fresh snow but not a whole lot, but if there is fresh i will ski it (We're talking 6inches). I ski aggressively and hard. Please help me chose between the 159 or 169. I would like these skis for 2 seasons.

+k for helpful responses.

A 169 will probably come out more like a 172 but they will ski shorter because of the rocker. They are quite soft too so you will appreciate the longer length for jumps. I personally would go for the 169 of you want them for 2 seasons as you will inevitably grow

i got the 169, im 5'7 and 150lb. they are perfect for jump but a bit sketchy for rails. but ima 90% rail and 10% jump skier so its a bit normal. i guess 169 would be good because you ski 50% rail and 50% jump.

I would go with the 169 cause you will appreciate the extra length and they won't feel shecky if your still growing.

Sorry for the double post, but does anyone know if there is a difference between the 10/11's and the 11/12's?
