I'm 5 "4 from and I really want the Vishnu Wet but their only sizes are 177 cm and 183 cm. I plan on growing a lot this year.
 
the skis are so soft and have so much rocker I wouldn't worry about it, especially if you are still growing. I'm 5'9" and if I was gonna buy some vishnus id want them to be like 188cm or something.
 
Are you comfortable putting that length on your feet, and dealing with slightly more weight? Answer those questions, it will be slightly harder to control but if you are a good skier and can handle the swing weight and length go for it

I've never actually skied anything more than 153 so this will be wierd. I can do double black diamonds at my ski resort so I guess I am good enough.

I went from 148s to 168s about a season and a half ago, I adjusted more to the weight than the length, Its more or less how well you can handle them and how they will effect spinning and stuff like that. You will find a longer ski to be way more stable, funner to ride imo, and more balanced out on rails
 
I went from some short rental skis to 171s, it took a few runs to get the hang of it but after a while I managed. You'll be able to do it.

That's reassuring.
 
I'm 6' riding the 171 chronic. Poor choice. If you're only 5'4 then anywhere between 171- 180 should be fine. Depends on your ability. If you really like the ski then go for it is all I can say.
