another confidence booster for ya, im 5'7, 140 lbs and my boyfriend is 5'5 150 lbs--we are both very good skiers, i have auras, he has mantras and he loves them. he has also skied my skies a few times and would choose his mantras over mine any day. i would also choose my auras over the mantras, its the same ski, just built for a girl. you will be fine with mantras.

There is no real reason you couldn't ski these other than the obvious.. "Dude, aren't those chick skis???". The Mantras would not be too beefy for you though man, if you are a strong skier, you will be able to adapt to how it handles. The Mantra is a good ski, and will ski pretty much the same as these, so the 170 in these or those, or depending how strong a skier you are, the next size up in the Mantra.
