I’m currently 5’4 and weighing at 125 pounds, Kinda wanna cop a pair of wet 177s next season but I know that 177 cm length is quite long for my size. I’m well aware of the rocker making them run short though. I currently ride 164 cm skis and am used to riding skis my height or even a little taller.

Tbh you’re a little bit too light and short for the 177 but I always encourage people to get bigger skis to go faster and look better on video. Plus you could grow into them?

Kinda was the plan to grow into them, most likely gonna ride them for a few years, maybe even longer, no need for me to buy a new pair of skis every season

Eh they have a lot of rocker. Yeah they'd be big on you but I mean how fast are you growing? They aren't as big as you think.
