Does it make the difference

I got the rossi brigades 171 cm and I basically just gona use them for park , the bindings are centered,  I am 5' 11 and weigh around 150 pounds. I was wondering if 171 is too short for me, and if it will make the difference on big jumps or they wil do just fine.

Thanks

sory if I have mistakes, english is not my first language.

depends on what you mean by "big" jumps and also youre ability level. 171 is a little short if youre 5'11. its gonna be a great rail ski but you will feel where it lacks on big jumps for sure. you'll wash out a little more if youre not dead on with your landings.
im 5'11 as well and ride 182 troubles.

I'm 5'11" and I rode 178 cm Brigades this past season. I didn't use them for just park, but I did ski them in the park a good bit. I thought 178 cm was just right. I do like skiing longer skis though.
