Freestyle with shorter skis.

Hello. I am about 5 9" And a very experienced skier. I am getting into terrain parks I have started to do a lot of stuff at the park this season. I have two skis. One of those skis is the 2011 line after bang they are 166cm and they are up to my nose. Are those too short? I ride with them fine. But should they be taller? I have heard several different things but I'm just not sure and I need help. Thanks!

They're probably a tiny bit short in the long run but they'll be fine for you for now. The shorter length will make them easier to spin and learn tricks with. A longer ski is more stable on bigger jumps. After you ski park for a while you'll work out what suits you.

Up to your nose is a fine size. I prefer to have my skis as tall as I am, but if you're just getting into park that'll be a good size probably. Once you get a new pair of skis you can get bigger ones if you are handling these fine though
