Hey i'm looking to buy the armada halos. I'm 5'4 and weight 120lbs. Would the 170cm ones still be too long for me?

probably not, i'm and inch taller than you and the same weight and i was using 175cm JJ's today and they were good. I think those have more rocker, and it wasn't for park. but if you're gonna grow i think it'd be fine. I'm done growing so i think i'd do the smaller size, as long as it's not like 160 or something short like that.

No definitely not. They have early taper and slight rocker which is going to make them ski a lot shorter. I would almost say go for the 176, because the taper makes the swing weight so light. Especially if you're still growing.

They ski way shorter than they are because of bride and taper
