i'm 5'11" and 150lbs. are 178's going to be too big?? i don't think its going to be a problem, i'm used to skiing166 so this should be different, what do you think?
 
you good to go, they will be a great size for you, especially if you mount them center. What kind of skis are they?
 
for a park ski it sounds to be just about right. If you plan on skiing more all mountain I might bump in up a bit,to say 186 or so but for park 178 should do pretty well.
 
178s are perfect. if they made.

thats the size anthem i would ride if i were getting them. actually id go for a 185 if they made that size.
 
A 185 anthem would be perrrrfect. I don't understand why ski companies aren't making longer park skis yet. For anyone over 6ft tall with big feet a 181 symmetrical park ski is just not long enough. I would kill for a park ski in the 185-186 range.
 
yeah fer serious. i'm 58 and riding 179's. i find it strange to see my 6 foot counterparts riding the same lengths

 
I just wrote up a list of the longest 09 skis I could find for another thread (https://newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/376858/)

Hope it helps you out man!!
 
Anthems! Sweet I'm gonna get a pair this year, sweet skis. I don't think you'll feel much of a difference at all especially if you begin the season on them, you won't remember as much how the others felt and you will adapt. Perfect size too, 166 is too short.
