182cm skis 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.

190 sender free 100. Probably end up replacing your other skis as an everything stick. reckoner 102 comes in a 191, although it's a softer more jibby ski. won't be as good of an all mountain ski.

Gotta love these reddit gapers sneaking into our website with their shitty questions.

Just search past feeds on here and elsewhere. You'll find tons and tons of people on 180cm+ skis that are sub 6'. My park/all-mountain ski is right now is the 184cm Sender Free 100 and I am 5'9". I couldn't imagine going shorter than that for an all-mountain (I live in the PNW). I have a pair of 179cm Line Chronic 94s. The shorter length doesn't give me anything more in the park and are significantly worse for an all-mountain application. For west coast go something like the 191cm Sender Free 110 and east coast or other areas with smaller hills and less snow go something like the 190cm Sender Free 100 IMO.

6'3 and I can comfortably rip 181 rockered symmetrical park skis all mountain, you'll be fine. Fis slalom skis are 165 and people way stronger and better than you rip those.

If you're 190cm tall you can pretty much just buy the biggest size of any ski you're interested in and it should be perfect
