I'm 5'7" 115lbs tele skier. I'm strugging with the K2 Phat Luv 170cm so looking for an alternative (definitely shorter). I'm an intermediate telemark skier and want a setup I can use both on resort and in the backcountry in BC. Would the 156m be too short or would I be better off with the 166cm?

One other factor to consider. The Jam has an early rise tip. That will shorten your effective edge, making the longer length easier to handle.

That's a tough one. I am a similar height, but heavier (145 or so) and I tend to ski mid 170s and find that to be my sweet spot. I'd guess that 156 would be too short, but you still might find the 166s too cumbersome as well. I'm seeing though that these are lighter and that might help quite a bit. If you had to go with one, I'd go with the longer as I'd think the 156s would be crappy on big lines and deep pow in the BC.
