Hi I'm a skier from New England. I ski a lot in the park and occasionally everything that the mountain has to offer. I'm considering buying HG stingers because they are a core brand and their durability on skis. HG stingers only sell in 186 cm long skis. I was wondering if 186 cm long skis would be too big for me because I am 5'6 and weigh about 135 pounds? I ski pretty aggressively and I'm currently 19 so I don't think I will be growing taller anytime sooner. Currently I ride 164 cm skis. Please help. If you have any other comments about HG skis please let me know. Thanks.

They only sell 178s
 
Hey dude, im also 5’6 and got myself the line blend 2017 (178cm) i asked this too and i got the conclusion that there will be no problem at all. You will just have to get used to a longer ski. They will be ridable and still be fun. Its pretty much preference.

they never got the financial backing to do it. probably would have done if more kids bought their skis
