This is not a discussion about the quality of these skis, I've ridden them, I like them, I'm buying them.

But what length? Im 5ft8, weight 60kg (140ish lbs). I've found somewhere where they are on sale cheap but they only have 171cms. Would these be too long and would I be better off going for 161cms? I ski in the park, out the park, back country, everything really, but will be spending a season in whistler next winter so gotta be vaguely good in powder.

Any advice would be awesome.

 
171's will perfect, if not 181's.

'Duran Duran bought Armada, Armada bought Microsoft, Microsoft bought MSP and AOL, AOL owns Time4 which owns the MountainSportsMedia which owns SKi, Skiing and RIP Freeze... so Armada now owns McDonalds and Coke.
 
Im about 5.7/5.8 and 60kg and used the 161s last year. Worked like a charm. Didn`t really have any problems with stability or wobble in high speeds either. 171 will fit you perfect.

 
171 but your making a mistake in my opinion but if you liek them hey go for it.

Just dip your dong in paint and smack your helmet with it.
 
171 161 is way to short man i ski 181 but im 6'3
