I am an east coast skier located in central Pennsylvania. I am 16, 5'6" and weigh 150 lbs. I am type III skier and spend most of my time in the park. I am looking into the Vishnu Wet 177. I was wondering if those would be too long for me or if I should be alright (I am center mounting them if it makes a difference). I am looking for a lightweight, soft, and playful ski and the Vishnu Wet seems to match the description. I don't want to spend more than $400 but the Wet seems like it is definitely worth the money. So if you think those skis sound like a good fit for me or think there is another ski that would suit me better please let me know.
 
dude honestly you could handle the 183s if you wanted, especially considering youre still gonna grow a few inches. v fun ski i highly recommend it
 
Go 177s. I've ridden both lengths and while they tide short, the 183 would feel to big. They are tough to handle, especially of you grow too
 
Hell yeah, im 5'6" and ride 176 I think, only major difference for me what the weight (mostly because my old skis where 158cm and volkl). Vishnus look sick and hella fun get them

im sorry what skis are you thinking of dude? you can literally pop on flatground and do a 540 on v's if you have soft boots and try hard enough. they actually have sidecut and the edge to edge quickness is mindblowing, enough camber and rocker to take literally anywhere on any mountain in any conditions. i would ride them in like 198 if they made them that long

*Arent tough to handle. I feel like you could have predicted that autocorrect. Sorry
 
Gonna second the 177 option. I'm 5'9 and I own 183 Wets and they run pretty long tbh.

Dank.

Anyway, judging from your height and weight I reckon the 177’s would work great for you. I’m always an advocate for skiing longer skis but in this case i’d say 177’s will work
 
im 5'6" and 16 and i ride 160cm ON3P FR (but on3ps are sized to be bigger), about chin height with ski boots, probably a little small but i like being able to toss them around and get on the tips/tails easier. i wouldnt go too big if i were you..
