Nah dude I'd say they're about perfect. I'm about 5'7 and planning on purchasing 173s. Remember, twins run shorter than normal skis, and personally I like my twins to run about as tall as I am, if not a bit longer.

I would say they are a tad long but I think you'll get use to them. It may take a little bit for you to perfect them in the park but all-mountain riding will be more fun. Because they are a little long you will notice less chatter at higher speeds
