Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody could help me out and tell me whether they think i should get shorter skis or not. I'm 5' 1" and about 95 pounds, 14 years old. I just got line mastermind 2013 skis that are 155, and I'm going to get them center mounted soon. They're a couple inches taller than I am. Some info about my skiing style: I do a little bit of all-mountain, but mainly park, usually more rails and boxes than jumps, I don't really do any huge jumps, but I wanted to try some back flips this year. I was hoping to be able to use these skis for 2 seasons. Do you guys think my skis will be problematic at all for me?
 
I definitely wouldn't go smaller if I were you. by the end of the season you'll be an inch taller and by the end of next you'll no doubt be 5'4" and 120 lbs. gotta love puberty.

as it is they're about the right size, and will still be within a reasonable size range for what you do within a couple years. unless you grow like a weed you'll probably get 3 seasons before they're much too small.
 
Go big! Longer skis for stable landings. Plus you'll grow into them. Way more fun to have more ski to rip turns.
