This is straight up wrong, I'm sorry.

At your height, you want to be in the low 170s for park and the low 180s for a standard pow ski.

Im 150 ish and yes still have a couple inches to go probably 5'9 is a safe guess. I live in ct so I ski vt mostly so not too much pow and a lot of hard packed. I do a lot of park and I'm extremely advanced back county and staight skiing. Also im getting more advanced in the park can do about any rail and any box. my best trick right now is like a 5 and flips
