FIS Slalom mens skis are 165 so I dont think 163 is tooooo short. I am taller than you and use SL skis indoors..
Keep the magnums for an out ski

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

163cm will be fine. I have the exact same skis, when I dont have my SL skis on indoors (which are 160cm) I pur these on, and indeed use them outdoors too.
Great ski

My indoor SL skis are 164 with an 11.8m radius I think. I'm 180cm /82kg.
The more serious guys in the race club ski the ladies FIS standard 155cm indoors, including one guy who towers above me. I don't think you need worry about 163s being too short indoors.

163cm is a good length for doing lots of one-footed drills...

I ski weekly at MK SnoZone, 1.85 tall and 100Kg. I use Head Black Veyron Limiteds in 163cm and they're fine.

So, I've been thinking. Chatting to people at Hemel today as well as the comments above I've decided not to go for the i.Speed's. I've decided to look into differences with them and SL skis and maybe go along that path and keep the magnums. Anyhow, thanks for the advice (seeing SL everywhere in the above threads made me think a bit more ).
One thing also, just if anyone else is looking "Sports Direct" are currently offering 20% off anything bought via their App until tomorrow. Some skis are overpriced (i.race) but some look good value. Might be worth it to someone. Will add to the bargain thread too.

I can't see myself joining a race club but I wouldn't want to rule it out.

You wouldn't be out of place, and it would give you an excuse to 'need' some SL skis

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
