Hey, i'm 5'6" and about 165 lbs. Do you think 178 invaders would be too big for park only? I would wait for the 171's but I want these skis for whistler in the summer. Thanks in advance.

I'd check the 90cm line 5-0 blades if i were you, they sound more like what your looking for

yes i think 178 for someone your height is too big. wait for 171s. itll make life easier for you, i dont think you want a park ski above your head.

I'm 5'8", and ski the 178 invader. Seems like a really comfortable length for me. I doubt the 2" inches between you and I is a big deal

Go for it.

Nah, they will be real tall on you thought. You'll most likely grow, and grow into them.

^you are not 175 cm tall.

Yeah, im 5'8 and i ride 175s. 178s would be a bit of a stretch but they would look dope.
