My New Setup Questions

So I ordered a new setup from my shop today. I got 161 Anthems with Salmons Z12 Ti 100s. I wanted looks but these were super light. I'm like 5'10 and 145 pounds. For park I feel like 171 was a little too unwieldy for my style. I ski mostly park but I like groomers and steeper terrain occasionally. I have 159 2004 Fuji's now mounted at like -3CM. Do you think I'll be able to get to a dead center ski for all mountain (east coast with the occasional Colorado trip)? What do you guys think about this binding and the combo of these with the Anthems?

Your anthems are too fucking small. You should be on the 178s.

You did go too small man, I suggest you at least up it to the 171's. The centermount reallllly makes them seem alot shorter. But it isnt really my place to tell you what to do.

Thanks for the input. I'm going to sick with the 161s though. I always have skiied a little smaller because I'm tall but i weigh the same as someone 3 inches smaller than me. 10cm=3inches, it seems to work out. I mean the only think that I can say in my defense is that the skis don't ski different because of my height but my weight. Either way I'm going to go with the 161's since that's how I like to ski.
