What length would you choose?

For you gals that have skied on the Burning Luvs, I wondered what length would be best for my daughter.
I rented them last year, and because of my weight and height, 5'6, they gave me the 167's, and I liked them really well, and just decided or order a pair.
Now my daughter is interested in them as well, and she hasn't tried them. She is in her mid 30's, has about 15 years of sking experience in the mountains, and I would call her an advanced intermediate. Certainly not an expert, but does pretty well. She is about 5'2, and weighs around 110. We stay on the groomed blues for the most part, but she likes to play in the bumps once in a while too. Also not afraid of groomed blacks.
There is no place to demo them, and she wanted to get a deal while they still were there. Would the 153 be too long for her, do you think?

Your daughter's about my size. If it were me, I'd go for the 153s.

Hey, if she doesn't like them, she can always sell them.

Get her to register here so she can tell us how it works out!

I think that's the right call. I felt more comfortable in the shorter (is it 148 for this ski?) length, but I am also a few inches shorter and 10-12 lbs lighter than her, and have an odd preference for shorter skis.

I think your daughter would like the 153's best. Good luck!

Another vote for 153!

Ditto. She's the size of my daughter and that's about the length she's hunting for.
