I found a pair of 03/04 mad trix 163cm in perfect condition for $340 USD with some crazy racing bindings (din 5-15). They have no marks in the bases whatsoever, perfect topsheets, perect edges, perfect everything. They seriously look like they were never used...ever. But im 16, 5' 9' tall and weigh 140 pounds. Are these skis too small for me? Please guys i need your help.

I'm pretty good. I can ski any run in PA with ease, even if thats not saying much. I'm getting there in the park but im not great by any means. I mean they say 163s and are prolly about 165 in length...i dunno its a close call. I need more help.

If they were about 10 cm longer they would be sitting in my house already.

haha. My dad just made the statement that for what i do (park riding and such) that 163 were perfect...i dont think he knows what hes talking about.

Damnit...if they were the next size up.

anything above 160 is just personal taste. less than 160 for someone 5'6+ is too small. that's just the very rough way i tell people to do it.

That isn't exactly cheap either. I got a pair of madtrix for $150 brand new 172cm last season. Im about 5'11-6', and Im probably going longer with my next pair of skis.
