Im 5'3'' and 100 lbs, will the 169s be too big for me? I know rockered skis are supposed to be big because the rocker makes them feel shorter but im just wondering? Im growing fast and am planning on using them next season.

You really might want to consider getting the 179, im 5'10" and have the 189, these skis actually ski shorter than you would think. I've used this ski in the East (yeah thats right on groomers and all), in Utah and various other places where the snow is deep. Although this ski shines in the deep, i have found it to carve on groomers rather nice you just have to muscle it a lil bit and let the ski know that you're the boss! Enjoy man hope this helps ya out

No, probably not since you are planning on going for more than one season and are growing. You might have to get used to the length, but after a day or so you will be rocking them.
