I'm 5'10 and and would be categorized as an expert level skier. I'm wondering if a 183cm (6foot) length ski would be pushing it a bit in the length category. The ski is an Armada tst 2015 model with a tip width of 119mm, waist of 102mm and a tail width of 123mm.

Also looking at some 181 armada ar8 zeros with a waist of 87. (both skis are used and pretty cheap)

Looking for a versatile ski to act as a cross between my park and semi directional all mountain skis.

Nah you're good. I'm 5'9" and ride 186cm. The TST has a ton of rocker so it will be easy enough to ski and 181 seems about perfect for a park ski. You're an expert skier you have nothing to worry about.
