Well it depends how heavy they're gonna be. You're only 130 pounds dude, they could get cumbersome.

your not giving enough information...

first off...


is the ski burly or is it super light?
what level of a skier are you?
are they for jibbing or jumps or pipe or for all of them?
etc...

i'm too lazy to work out
and it's impossible for me to gain weight by eating. It's not my choice to weigh this much... haha

You would probably be okay since they are a light park ski and you have some height on you.

You should be okay.  Its all about preference.  I'm your height, but I weigh about 50 lbs more than you, and I thought I liked shorter skis better until I bought 185s for my all mountain twins.  I love them at that length, and I'm very pleased with them.  You'll do fine with 183, especially if you're still growing.
