yeah dude, that's probably too small for you. I'd go with a 167-172 ski if i were you.

Depends on your skill level, preferences, and other things. I'm 5'3" and ride the 169. Which is like 172 I guess. I lik it though long skis look better, and they are better for bigger jumps, If you haven't mounted them yet try to trade them for a bigger size. It depends on where you got them.

youre definetly gunna want the size up, maybe 2 if you like longer skis, cause even tho they may be long, they ride really short from the early rise, and the eventual rockering out of the ski

way too small. they run a few cm big, not 2 full sizes big ... see if u can find the 169 or 174.

I'm 5'9 and I thought the 169 felt a bit small. Nice for just rails but too small for jumps... 159 is far too small in my opinion.

That's fucking tiny. I skied on a pair of 166 Abangs for a season out of necessity and that shit was short. You should be skiing on park skis in the low 170s. It'll be much more fun to jump and it'll look way better.

try returning/exchanging for a larger size rather than sell and rebuy
