Size question!

Stupid question I know...
I have just bought some Fujative 05/06 in the size 179! I am like 175 and weight 75kg. (Dunno your scale, I'm not from the US)!
I am wondering if they are to BIG? I’m going to ski like 75% park, 15% powder and 10% slope! And I am going to centermount them! (7,5 or something like that)
As you properly noticed I have bought them, but I can return them if you think it is way to crazy to ski on 179's!
Well do you?

P.S. what can be won by skiing smaller skies?
hope to get some help

You're fine, centermount them(I think you're right with 7.5cm) and ski them 75% park, you'd be FINE.

179s will be fine, and center mount them .

They'll be fine, they'll feel shorter since they're center mounted. If I were you I'd mount them at 6.5 so that they'd be a little bit better for the other 25% you ski.

Na. +7.5 is sick. I take mine everywhere @ centre and its sick. Size 179 is fine. the only thing you are sacrificing would be spinning ability but once you center mount them you wont notice it, but will have more stability. Plus longer skis look so much more stylie.
