I am looking to buy a new pair of skis and unfortunately living in Nebraska makes demoing nearly impossible. I currently ski K2 Sweet Luv at a length of 153, which feels too short and some of my expert skier friends have also commented on the shortness. I am a solid intermediate skier. I ski mostly in Colorado and some in Utah, approximately 10-15 days a year. I am 5' 4" and about 125 lbs. I am looking to the K2 One Luv at a length of 160 cm. I would like to further develop my ability and speed, and would like a ski I could ski several seasons. Do you think this ski would work with my skill level? Additionally, is 160 cm too long?

If you want the 160 you'll have to buy last year's ski. They are no longer making any of their women-specific skis in 160 length, except the Phat Luv. They are now making all of them in 142 (Only the One, True, Sweet and First), 149, 156, 163 and 170 length. I suspect the reason they made this change is so they can pop all of their skis (both men's and women's) out of the same forms and thereby save money.
I don't know how this impacts how you think about it, but it's another factor in your equation.
