my local ski shop has a barely used pair of last years 182 Armada Alpha 1's for $175. I'm 6'1 and 185 lbs. Are these skis the right size for me and how do they perform in the park? +K for good answers

alpha 1s are rockered so that allows you to use a bigger ski so they should be fine

and im 5'7 and use 175s so they will be good for you

I have them in a 182 and I'm 5'11. They work great on jumps and jibs and are a great overall ski. I mounted mine 1.5 back and they ski excellent switch.
