I'm female - 5'6" 125 lbs. 160 seems short. Any advice on size I should get in the Baker? Also, how does it handle on the ski area? I will occassionally use them on hard pack, bumps, etc.

I'd get the 167 cm. I've skied both the 160 and the 167. The latter has a nicer flex and turns more smoothly. The Mt. Baker Super Light is fine on groomers and corn; it is not a bump ski, nor does it shine in crud: The operative words are "super light." It gets bounced around and deflected in difficult snow. If you ski at a ski area, there are many better skis than this one. Ted Kerasote www.kerasote.com
