I am 5'10 170 pounds and i was wondering is 166cm (moment jibs) too small of a park ski for me, or would they be okay?

all depends what you want to do

i go with skis the same height as me for park just for stability, shorter skis work well for spinning though

i'm 5 11 and ride 178s

do you think they would still hold up fine on bigger jumps?

I'd go longer if I were you. like 175-185 range. you're not tall, but you're also not light as a feather. 166 is definitely too short. go demo a pair of 178's or something and see how you like em

They'll be fine, It's amazing being on longer skis as you can bomb down hills
