Sizing on park skis?

Hey guys, so I have been riding my 171 08 Dumonts this entire season and was just wondering if the sizing is off or if its just me. I am 5'9" and about 120 lbs. They just feel a little heavy and kind of blocky when trying to learn to ride rails (this is my first season in the park) but they feel great on the rest of the mountain.

Your sizing is right, you can even go bigger up to 176 or so in the future. All you need to do is build ul your leg muscles, and they won't feel as heavy

I have been told its my boots that were a little heavy. Theyre old rossignols that used to be rental boots.

its probably the boots and and they may not fit as properly as they should so theyll feel heavier, also since your only 120 the skis will be heavier compared to your body weight maybe like 15% of your total body wight, also if your 120 you may not have as strong of leg muslces so the skis will feel heavier
