I'd say that because you're coming off skiboards, you don't want to go too long, but you definately don't want to go too short either. Something in the range of 160-168 would probably be good for you. This would be either a little shorter than you, or about the same height. I wouldn't suggest buying junior skis because they are intended for younger, lighter kids and aren't built to handle somebody your size.

I'd say go and demo as many skis in the 160-168 range that you can, and base your decision on what you like best, not what the people on this website are saying. Most of them will tell you to go longer, and you could try that, but its not necessarily the best length for you.

Good luck dude.
