This size is too long in my opinion (unless your race training) If you are looking for a good size for all mountain skiing and (eventually) powder skiing I would suggest around 162cm if your around 6'.

This is what I ski and though they look kinda short at first, you can really shred with them.
I'm five 8 and ski on 193's that are pretty wide but I'm not a normal skier...

Anyhow, you need to try different sizes to really figure out what size you like. 160 seems a little on the short side for someone that tall. I'd guess about 175-185. Depends on the brand and how wide it is too.

If you are off by five or ten cm's it won't really matter, especially for an intermediate. Shorter are generally easier, but too short or too long aren't good for your skill development long term. If it was twenty years ago, I'd be recomending 195-205's for you. Things have sure changed.
