^I agree... or just figure it out on your own... My opinion, keep the skis about as tall as you are to avoid the short ski comments and to avoid unneeded swing weight... I find it's a nice balance.

If you're 5'1' they don't let you on the lift, sort of like at amusement parks. Grow first, then we'll tell you what size of ski to get.

its not so much your height as it is your weight. i mean you could be tall and lanky and not have the power neccesary for larger skis.
