they should be fine if you like to ride the whole mountian. a little long if your going to strictly huch yourslef. Im 5'11' and I ride 174 and as small as a 168 for just the park kind of stuff
about a 174 is perfect for you. I thin that they make a 176 in 1080's





give me 2 days and Ill be able to do anything better then anybody who has ever done it.

They're fine man.. people have this stupid idea that shorter means easier to move in the air. This is a load and if you're a solid skier and a good athlete you wont notice any weight difference. Always go for the little bit longer than recommended

I'm 5 11 and my skis are only 164. they seem a little short.
