Hey, Im riding 171 and they are not center. So im trying to pick up a straight park ski, but dont know if 179 would be to big? My `171 hit mid nose and my brothers pair of skis (175 or 177) hit mid forehead. So im nt sure these 179 would work centered? Thanks. I know it is only cm, but cm can kill u or save u! spining and fliping.
