I have armada halo 2s that are 176 cm. I am 5,10 and somewhere between 140-150 pounds. Are these skis to big for me? I have already skid them for a year, but am just wondering. thanks.

Woops. And to answer your question, it's a good length for a park ski.

I'm 5,4 and about 130 lbs and don't have too much of a problem with my 176 cm park skis.

I'm 5 10 and weigh 130 and I have 172cm skis and they do well because I like a shorter ski
