Ski Height

i'm 5 10' I ordered the 2016 ON3P filthy riches, I bought them in 186Cm is that too big for me? Would they be too big to ski park and do jumps and rails and all that?

Filthys will ride a bit shorter. Id say it would be like riding a cambered 180-181 ski. If you can ski well and deal with the extra 1/2lb or whatever you should be just fine

That might be pushing it. It depends on your weight and skiing ability. If you are a strong skier, they will be fine.

I'm 6'2 175 and I usually ride a 185-189.

I weight 162 pounds I ski very well I go fast and im an intermediate-Expert ive been skiing since age 3. And im good in the park do you think they'll be fine?

You should be fine. Obviously a longer ski will add a smaller amount of weight. Im about 5'7 and I'm riding a 170 this season which is about 2cm taller than I am. I wouldn't call myself an expert skier because i went right to park when i started so my technique isn't all that great but i can still carve some decent turns. I would honestly say its more about the weight than anything. The length imo will be ok. I came from a 148 lsat year so the weight of the 170s are really heavy so it felt weird the first time (the only time I've ridden them yet). It just takes adjustment is all.
