Hey, looking for a 60% all mount/trees/whatever else and 40% park ski. I'm almost 5'11 and 150ish lbs. I found a good deal on some used 185 soul riders and just need some final reassurance.

Any help would be amazing. Thanks.

Those seem like they would be a tad to long for you honestly.

You think? Damn okay I guess I'll keep looking.. I knew it was on the border of being too long. Thanks.

If you're skiing the majority of the time outside the park a 185 is not too big at all. Especially for someone 5'11. That is if you are a fairly strong skier.

Provided you're have a decent ability level I think you'd be able to ski 185cm just fine. If they were a full rocker ski maybe not but they have rocker which will make the ski feel a bit shorter meaning you should be able to handle 185cm at your height and weight.
