I used the 4FRNT Clicks 177 and I'm 5"7. I think they skied pretty tall.

i don't wanna create a thread to ask this so i'll just ask here:
I'm riding 139cm Salomons, and I'm about 5'2" (they're roughly at my chin when i stand next to them. The sizing charts say i should be riding closer to 150 but this seems like a pretty big jump in terms of size?

If you're a good skier, 155-160cm would probably be ideal for you (as long as you arent like 70lbs).
