Size Issue, Should I return my Skis?

So I snagged some 178 RMU Diams from getboards for super cheap, but I'm worried they'll be too big. They measure exactly my height. I'm going to use them next year, and I will probably grow another 1-3 inches by then. I wouldn't be worried but they are a beefier ski, and I'm worried about weight. I will be using them in the park, 70% rails 30% jumps.

How big are you. My friend is like 5'6"-5'7" and he has 178 chronics that go over his head. He's fine with them so I think you'll be good.

I'm 5'9"-5'10" and still growing a little bit. The difference is these have no early rise, just traditional camber. Thanks for the reply.

You should be fine. You'll get used to them, and if you grow more than it's even better, because skis that feel to short are no fun (unless they're snowlerblades, obviously).
