Help me find Ski Length?

Hi, I need a bit of help choosing what ski length I need to buy since there is a large difference between if I go with my weight or my height, so here are my details:

Height: 5'10" - 5'11"

Weight: 130 pounds

Age: 15

Experience: I am a pretty good skier, I can do most if not all the Black Diamonds.

So, any recommendations on which ski size to buy would be great, thanks!

    For all mountain skiing, if you are intermediate, 160-168cm; advanced 165-173cm. Medium stiffness will do.

    Subtract 5-7cm if you are talking about twintips for park skiing.

    Before settling down, always demo several models with a couple of lengths in the same model, just to ensure you get the right one.

    Jim W coated lots of the question. i visit characteristic merely that maximum ski fashions could have a particular chart for a that particular form. frequently, the charts may well be exceedingly close from one form to a diverse, yet with agencies making one form of ski in 164cm, 171cm 187cm and 181cm and the comparable corporation making yet another form in 4 different lengths, it extremely is terrific to seek for suggestion from the chart for the particular form of ski you ultimately settle directly to purchase.

    If you are skiing only groomers and like to go fast, go with a 173cm. If you are skiing more all mountain or terrain park, go a little shorter.

    I would think like upper 160s centimeters.
