182cm too short for 190cm skier?

I wanted to get a pair of Fischer nightstick 97s but they only go up to 184 in length, and apparently measure 182cm. Will these be too short for me as a 50/50 park/all mountain ski at 6’3/190cm, 185lb? I am an advanced skier overall but somewhat of a beginner in the park.

I am your size I landed generally closer to 180 for strictly park to 190 for pow, combo lands somewhere in between depending on the ski

correct me if i'm wrong but aren't those skis pretty stiff? if so that will help in this situation, a stiffer ski can make a big difference if it's a bit shorter on you

if you're a beginner it's definitely chill, they are a stiff ski compared to most. If you are concerned though maybe look into the vishnu key plus' at 186 cm
