Hey NS,Im in a little unsure of whether or not I should pick up some new skis for next season. I'm 5'9", 145 pounds and currently riding on some 166 Armada AR7's. They fit me when I bought them, but I have grown quite a bit since. My AR7's are just below my eyes.

Should I get some new skis NS? Obviously I would rather not since my skis are only 1 season old but I worked all summer so money aint a thang
 
depends on your style ... if you're kind of a nick goepper or bobby brown who likes to hit jumps and spin a lot keep em ! however if your a jibber who presses on rails & boxes change them because your stability on rails is better if your skis are a little taller than you/exactly your height. be carefull to not take them to tall (if its your choice) 1-2 inches over your head is perfect.
 
I'm 5'8" 145 and i ride the Surface Double Times in a 170 in the park. It's mostly personal preference but even at your height i would not recommend going below 170 and even that is a bit small the only reason double times work at that size is because they're super cambered and super stiff making them ride like a bigger ski. but like previously said it's all up to personal preference.
