I cant decide whether I should get the 151 '09 Line Invaders or step it up to the 161's. I am about 5' 7'', 110 lbs and still growing. I also dont know what boots or bindings are good with them. I wear a 9.5 / 10 shoe size. Can someone help me?

 
You should definately get longer! 171! And for the boots, you need to choose the boot that fits your feet best! There's a sticky here that explains how you should choose boots.
 
get the 171 you are prolly still gonna grow and these will work until your 6'0 if you get there. for boots get something cheap that fiits prolly a 27.5
 
It's supposed to be somewhere near your height. It gives you more stabillity! And short skis doesnt look good
 
171 isnt long for a ski like the invader. It's soft flex and symmetrical nature will make it seem shorter.
 
151 is way too shortthats a kids ski
i'm 5'6 and might look into some 177s
I have 161 invaders and they are great, i also have 168 VCTs for pow and they are alot of fun too, i could definitely go longer
 
your only real options are the 171 and 177. anything shorter is plain stupid. and with a ski that flimsy, you will be fine on a 177.
 
go with 171 and keep them for a few years, if you were skiing on 151's your probably a beginner. just go with 171 and you will get used to them
 
For that soft of a ski, a longer ski will be more stable, and look more gangsta.

Don't forget to center mount.

Last year I found some Kryptons on ebay for $40, I only meant for them to be for urban beating, but now I use them for All Mountain.

All I had to do was take the liners out, through them in the dryer ( I do every time I go skiing anyway) and they fit like a glove, lucky me.
 
Alright so everyone always says go longer which is good in many cases. But you say you rode rentals so i am assuming that this year is your first year of legit park skiing? If so then 161 would probably be alot more comfortable than 171. I rode 161s on my first year of park and I was 5'7. Invaders are pretty cheap so if you grew to like 5'10 by the season after the season you ride invaders you could always just get a new longer pair of skis and you won't have wasted tons of money on expensive skis earlier. I grew after i had 161s and I just got 177 Line afterbangs...
 
i would get 171 if i were you

it will proboley be just as tall as you and you wont grow out of it too soon. also dont get the 151 or what ever it is. too small. thats like the invader mini
