i have the chance to get a good deal on some 161 05/06 karmas...i am 5'6 120 lbs. i would use them for like 75% park 25% pow, booters. i would true center mount them. 161 seems kinda short but for park they would be good becuase theyre so stiff. they wouldbe at like my nose would thids work out ok?

yes. how tall are you? if they are at your nose, they are short, but not too short by any means. that seems like a good stick for what you ski.

if the deal is amazing, i would say go for it. i personally think you should be on at least a 170ish cm ski.

deals will come and go.. you will see alot of good prices on skis that are a good length for you. id say let it pass, and look for something more towards what you want to ski, not something that is really low priced.
