I just made a thread on this like 2 days ago... and I'm 5'8" riding the K2 Press 169's, so you're a little small, but smaller is ultimately easier soooo yeah. depends on your skill level, if you are really comfortable with park, you can go longer. if not, go shorter, cuz it's easier to learn on.

its all preference. You could use a smaller or bigger ski. What you like. I would try a longer ski and then figure out whats your range that you like. There is no really set mode that you have to stay in. Just ride a size that is most comfortable to your style.

It really depends on your skill level, And what you are doing. If you are a beginner- intermediate on groomers, yes that would fit you. If you are intermediate- advanced in park it would fit you. It is all your skill level! Hope that helped! Bye
