Hello. Im about 5 9" And I ride the 2011 166cm line after bangs. They are up to my nose. I am a very experienced skier but are these skis too short for me? I can sky with them fine but I just don't know if they are too short, Thanks!

Those might hinder you from skiing outside the park but its all about personal pref.

I ride 175 joysticks as a 5'7 150lbs and it'd feel weird for me to ride anything shorter after riding 175s for two years. Obviously its easier to spin with shorter skis but longer skis feel more stable on rail slides and landing
