I found a great deal on some k2 domains. But they are 179s. I know that k2 measures their skis short, so they are actually 183ish. My question is if I am to small for these. I am 5'11" and 140ish. +k for good answers!

I'm 5'9" and that would be the size I would get. Because of the rocker they ski a bit shorter than they are. When I demoed em they definetly rode more like a 170-175. It all depends on what kind of skiing you are gonna do. But I would say its a fine size for you.

Sweet! I'll be doing 50/50 jumps to rails. Also jumps won't be to large, under 45ft.
