i just found out form my shop that my line invaders arent coming in till mid to late november maybe even december!!!!they got in 178 ones but not 161!!!! the people at line better start gettin their shit together or their gonna lose alot of sales
 
178s would be almost perfect for 5-7 in my opinion, especially for soft skis like the invaders
 
damn dude 161s are TINY for you. i usually only ride a 175-180 for park, and im only 5'8" and i use a 186 or 188 for pow/big mountain.

youre probably holding yourself back a tiny bit by getting tiny skis. but then again, weight and ability is probably a better tool for ski length
 
pretty much. you need to remember they are twins too. The running length on the 161s must be like just tiny.....

5'7" on soft ass 161 invaders probably center mounted.....is tiny. at least your will have no issue throwing them around.

seriously....just get the 178s. you wont have any trouble handling them if you are a decent skier. just mount center.
 
Word.

Im 5'6 and i would go for the 178's if it were the invaders.

center mounted, soft as shit, and a twin...that screams going a bit longer.
 
To actually put thought in to this:

You are 5'7...or 67 inches...better known as 170cms. You are 9cm taller than the skis you want, and 8 cms shorter than the ones people are screaming for you to get.

A 170 is ideal, but a soft, center mounted ski will take away the size difference. The 178 is actually a better choice, unless you have an Ethiopian frame and can't flex the Invader.
 
i'm 6'0 and ride 174 PE's. whats your opinion on that? but keep in mind that i ride mcreek in nj. not some huge colorado mountain
 
No hate... in fact, I'm buying Elizabeths. I just think that the Scratch WRS FSs are much higher quality skis than the Invaders, and, subsequently (and unfortunately), much more expensive...
 
umm my friend is actually still waiting for rossi to send his skis, and it's been like two months since he sent them in for delam.
 
seriously 161 will look like skiblades on your. you could EASILY handle the bigger size. it'll be faster, smoother, and more stable (not to mention look better) trust me.
 
My opinion is get bigger skis. Im 5'7 and ride 176 ar6. Why would you get a shorter ski cause you ski at a crappy mountain?
