Im looking at the nordica soul rider but the smallest size is 169 and they go to the top of my head, is that a good size though? I want to know if that is too big for me or if i could still enjoy them.

because its got a fair bit of rocker in it you'll need to ski them longer anyway. so id say if it comes to the top of your head that'll be fine.

A ski reacts more to your weight and the force you put on it by being forward, engaging the tip by pressuring the cuff of your boot. It doesn't really have much to do with your height, so what do you weigh?
