Snowboard question?

It all depends on the board that you get, a 151cm board would be good if it was a softer board meant for pure freestyle otherwise at your weight you're gonna have a really hard time controlling it on the slopes, a 151cm board that is more stiff at your weight will be hard to control also due to your weight, my suggestion is getting fitted at a ski shop, otherwise i'd go a little bit shorter of a board if you want an all mountain board, dont listen to ppl that say if a board comes anywhere from your chin to your nose you'll be ok, because that is far from the truth. that is just a quick and easy way to size ppl and get them out on the mountain.

151 is just fine. If your not totally sure, hold the board upright. It should line up to your chin, shorter if your like to do tricks and a little longer if powder is your thing. By the time you've worn out your first board, you will know a lot more about what lenghth is perfect for you

If I have professional figure skates, do I have to get them sharpened specially?

It all depends on what your doing. If your going to be doing tricks in the terrain park you should go with a smaller board so you can spin easier. If you just want to cruise down the mountain you should lean to buying a longer board. The general guidline is it's supposed to go up to you chin but its all preferneces
