Moment Ghost Trains for Japan

Going to Japan on a 2 week ski trip. Going to buy second hand powder skis and keep them instead of renting.

Got my eyes on 2016/17 Ghost Trains but they're 178cm and I'm 175cm, worried they're too short. Usually it's good to go up a size for pow skis, especially for these because they're double rockered at the front so the effective edge is even less, but they're 123mm underfoot so I'm thinking I could get away with it. Thoughts?

Considering that theyre near-rockered out and 123 underfoot, you should be going even taller

I have some 182cm Night Trains I'd for sure sell. Maybe Hot Pocket can comment on this but i never saw online that they made a 182cm version of them but the sticks I have say 182cm on them. Same dimensions as the 2010 version so maybe they're a limited run or something?
