I am 180 tall and 65kgs heavy. i ride 170 twins, as i have done for 2 years now. are they long enough for one more season, or should i buy some new? they are center mounted, so it feels a bit short..

if your skis are 4 inches (10cm) shorter than you they are pretty short. definitely still rideable if you dont grow, but not good for big jumps/ all mountain
