hobbiteater, Never know what 'levels' really mean .... but I've found the Fischer RX-8 has 'grown' with me ( probably other way around!) .... probably a 170 , but 165 may suit ... its a ski whi gives 'feedback' at my level of incompetence ...
I ski 170 . but taller with a short ( 255???) sole ..similar weight

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

hobbiteater, Stoeckli Laser SC - I hired them for a few days and they blew my mind...
these are they - I've recommended them before on here... the best fun. You just do 1000's of turns for the hell of it - you'll never want to str8line anything again..

Not easy to source over here though I think...

Slalom racer it is.
Most popular brands should do... Nordica Dobermann SL is waaaaay popular here in Wengen. Stoeckli Laser SL next. Atomic SL12 etc etc etc
Matter of taste 
Movement flame... likely a bloody cool ski, but its not a slalom ski, its never gonna turn as short as a slalom raceski.

rent or demo and find out what you like, everyone is different and has different skiing style / preferences.

Another vote for Fischer RX-8 - 165 cm ? Cracker of a ski.

hobbiteater, I am an inch shorter than you and a little lighter and have RX-8s in 160cm. I love them, they have transformed my skiing

hobbiteater, Yet another vote for the RX8. I'll even rate them a tiny bit higher than my Atomic SX10s (though not by a HUGE amount).
Which, by a huge coincidence are up for sale
