i'm 5'6', about 125 and i'm 16 so i'm still gonna grow. i'm not sure between the 165 tm's and the 168 scratches when it comes to the size and ski. 165's no problem but i'm not sure that if i bump up a few cm onto a beefier ski like the scratches that it'll affect me in my all around and park skiing.
keep it stylish

168 if you are willing to suffer a bit for a year.
I'm a 6 foot 165 monster and I ride 173 04 scratches.(great skis)(2005 scratches are better)

^suffer? learn to ski well dude. I am not trying to be mean, but 6 feet, 173s? I have 176s and I think they are too short, and I am 5'10'. Any decent skier should be able to handle a ski over their height. Anyway, to the kid who started this, definitely go for the 168, heck, even 170

i'm also 5'6 125, and i'm about to get 168's, i was thinking about 171's. one inch is 2.54 centimeters, and 5'6 is about 168.9 centimeters. and seeing how on twintips, the back is turned up, that's a good 5-7 cm off the ground. i'd get skis 2 or 3 cm taller than me
