yeah it will take a bit of getting used to but will be soo much better once you are comfortable
way more stability on regular skiing and jumps plus more swingweight

They are definitely NOT too big. I'm 5'8" and use 180s in the park. I agree that they may feel weird at first, but after a few runs, you'll be so glad you've got the extra length.
