I'm 5'1, 130lbs, experienced ski racer who is debating which size is right for me....the 156 or 163? Currently I ride on a pair of atomic women SL 11's that are 160....any suggestions? Also...I really like the top sheet design from last year. Is there anywhere or anyway to purchase last year's model? Or even the pink/black version from this year??

Go with the 163's. I'm 5'1, 120 and they get a bit short for me in powder. Crud and ice in tight Taos trees however, and they're awesome.

I'm 5'1" just under 100 lbs expert skier and I have the 156. I bought these after skiing on 8 yr old volkls (!) with a parabolic sidecut - 149 length. Compared to my old skis, these ski short but I know that's the difference in sidecut. I think you'd probably be fine with the 163s.
