Will 178cm be too small?

[Stephencody]

I want to get a pair of blends that i found a great deal on im 5 11 165 i will be using it in the powder and mounting it a little forward. Will 5 cm make that large a difference?

Well that size would have been perfect if it was a park ski, but since you're getting a powder ski I think it's too short.

it depends on your preferences and skill but yeah i'd say that's too small, esp if youre getting it for pow/all mtn

also mounting them up makes them ski even shorter

see this thread for discussion on the exact same question almost (except that that OP is much heavier than you, but every other point still is relevant to you)
