yeah....im 5'5" and im riding a 176 centre mounted...centre mount takes alot of length off. Also, you wont want to ski powder on a centre mounted ski. For powder, you need loft in your tips, se being mounted back is good. However, munting centre in powder is (ride-able) but it is not advised, and it will be no fun...

190 in the park is just stupid at your height.
