Ski length

What’s up y’all, just looking for some advice here, so my one quiver ski this year is a libtech ufo 105 and lately I’ve been considering a beater pair of park skis because I still like dipping into the park here and there, and maybe some urban stuff. So I’ve been talking to this guy about a pair of arv 96s that are in pretty good shape for $100 with bindings so a hell of a deal. But the catch is they’re a 177. I’m about 6’3 and 200 lbs so I was just wondering if y’all think this is too short of a ski for me, I won’t be charging or anything on them, it would be a strictly park/urban ski. Thanks.

Just make sure the bindings are safe but yeah good deal. I never like to pay too much for park skis.

At your size i feel like any length of park ski would technically be to small for you. So for a 100 bucks Id say green light!

I’m basically the exact same size. My first true park skis were 177 revolts and they were fine but even the low 180’s I’ve owned since feel short to me after riding 188 everywhere else on the mountain. For beater park/street skis why not...?
