I am an Intermediate level skier. I can run down both blue square & black diamond slopes quite easily with ski's that are probably 150cm long.
Weight:130lb
Height: 5'3

Yes too long!
What model?
What year ?
The rule of thumb is the following;
beginner = tip at chin
Intermediate = tip at nose
Expert SL = 165 cm. 170 cm
Expert GS = 180 + cm
Expert Powder = 185 cm. and + 100 mm foot
Expert Alaska/Utah powder = 190 cm. and +110 mm foot
Hope this helps some of you !

Probably not what you want to hear but they be more of a hindrance than a help.

I'm 5 foot 7 or something, and I ski 166, and I was thinking of going a bit longer. 175 would be interesting.

Much too long. Send me via PM your address. I noticed you are 15 and this should not have happened.
I have several skis from the Fischer ski company perhaps one could be correct for you.
Will check how much shipping will be,,,if reasonable I will send you a early Christmas present.
Would a Fischer GS World Cup PRO 160 CM. be acceptable for you ?
