Hey, I’m looking at ski right now it comes down to either the thall in 166 or k2 iron maiden in a 169. I was wondering how much taller the k2s are other than 3 cm’s. Ive heard that k2s run longer than most skis this is why I am curious

Idk but I was under the impression that a centimeter was a centimeter. In amy case buy the ski that fits you, any additional length will only help you in the long (ha) run

You add 4 centimeters for k2, so the maiden is technically a 173.The longer the ski, the more stability you will have, you will get used to the length and the maiden is a bomber ski

Yeah the k2 may be a bit big. Your about 157cm tall so if you like your skis two inches bigger then you that's 162cm. Going to a 169 would be 5 inches taller then you and if they are really 173 that's 6.5 inches taller then you.
What I would look for is a ski in about the 164-166 range such as the thalls you already mentioned
