I'm 5'4, 120 lbs, and I have a Line Afterbang in a 155. Too small for this season?

personally i think you will be absolute fine on those, others on NS might think overwise but they should just do fine, i think if your skis are below your chin then they are getting small

Just ride them until they dies, then reassess your height, how fast you're growing, and how strong you are. Skis should be about as tall as you, or a little taller, but you have to be strong enough to handle the extra length. Longer skis are going to provide more stability for jumping, and look much better in my opinion.
