i have read tons of threads on this and have decided just to ask the question myself

i am 5' 5'' - 5' 6'' 130 pounds. intermediate - expert, aggresive skier

i had a pair of 161's last year for all mountain skiing. did a little park skiing with them and learned the basics but i am going all out in the park this year. focusing mostly on technical rails 270 ons, 270 offs, and switch ups. will be throwin' down on a few kicker's also

My friend has a pair of twin tip 171 center mounted skis for sell that seem perfect for what i am trying to get done this season. this will be my first season focusing mainly if not all my time on park. i will be getting another pair of skis for those pow days so that is not an issue.

So my question is are these skis too large for me even though i am going to get an EXTREMELY good deal on them? even when center mounted? please let me know along with any other information you might have
 
Definitely NOT too large. I am the same size as you and I ski on 173's. They're perfect, shorter skis would just feel weird.
 
171s should be a pretty good size for you.

I'm 5'10", 140lbs and currently ski on 161s. I plan on picking up something in the low 170s soon though, cause 161s are just too short for me, even if they are fun as hell.
