I am 14, 5'3 and 118 pounds. I live on the east coast and I was wondering what size would be better 159 or 169 I also like to ski the moguls/bumps a lot and I was wondering which size would be better.

Depends how long you want to keep them. The 159s will be way easier to throw around in the bumps, but they'll be too flexy for you once you gain another 15 pounds or so. If you ca afford to replace these when you grow out of them, go with the 159, it'll ski way more nimbly than the longer ones.
