Ok, so i'm about 5'7 and about 155-160 pounds would a pair of 179cm Kung Fujas be too big for me or could I make it work?

might be a bit long since a k2 179 is more like 184 but they also have rockered tip and tail so theyll feel shorter.

in conclusion, yeah theyll probably work fine if youre an aggressive enough skier to handle the extra length.

Thanks for the help, 184 sounds pretty rough. Most likely not gonna go for them.

I'm 5'9" 130lbs. And the 169 is way to short definitely go with the 179, I wish I had.

I would get them for sure! You lose a lot of length because there is a fair amount of rocker on them. Also they are a real soft flexing ski. They seem really fun and I would certainly recommend them.
