181's to big?

[Young_Zay]

I'm 5'9 125 lbs and I'm looking at buying a pair of 181 pipe cleaners from a friend. I was just wondering if they're to big? And if they will restrict me from doing anything

No they're not too big. Bigger skis will make you a stronger skier. Only thing I would be wary of is that they are a stiffer pipe ski, not a buttery park ski, and you are pretty light to start with so they might be stiffer than what you are used to.

Well I'm 5'8" and ride 191s, so I would say no.

It's preference. Some people like short skis, some like long. Doing things like rails and butters will constitute a short ski, whereas charging lines and cliffs will constitute a longer ski.

if you are still growing they'll be fine. They will feel long at first but if you can learn how to ski them i guarantee you you'll probably never go back to a shorter ski
