ya that is deffinately too short
send them back when you get them and exchange them for at the absolute VERY least a 171

ya most people on here including myself would say get the 178 because invaders are centered so they will seem shorter, and they are really soft

probably should have gotten them longer, cuz im 5 10 and i ride a 177 and thats just right. But if you are just doing park that 161 shouldnt be a big problem

If your only doing park it would be a huge problem, that's just plain puny. They're extremely soft and light, so you would be able to throw around 178 easily. If you not comfortable with the word 178, get 171's.

yeah man way to short, get some 178s or around there, and get rid of those line bindings if your not going to be changing them between other line skis, get some looks they will be way lighter and alot better chance they wont break on you.

just my opinion though

Then you should probably get your skiing ability to a higher level before hittin the park with some true park skis.

just return them for a bigger size, even 171 is short for you... if you've got reactors, it's not like their drilled, so you could probably take them back.
