Would a 181cm ski be too big for me?

I am 6' and am just wondering if a 181cm would be too big for me. Im an intermediate/expert skier and currently use 171 so im just curious if that would be too big of a jump
 
That sounds about perfect for your height and weight. Tons of people way smaller than you rock a 181. Simon dumont for example, and he's 5'4"
 
I'm 5'7 and weighs 65kg, and I rock 182's.

I don't know... just feels a bit silly to be skiing on shorter sticks, but that's just me!
 
I'd say for your height and weight, 181 would be towards the shorter end of skis for you. Best thing though would be for you to demo some skis and see what works best for your riding.
 
I am 6' and 160ish and went from 169 to 184 this year and really enjoyed skiing on the longer ski. Park riding was not much difference on rails and spinning was a little slower but nothing that messed me up. I would definitely go with 181 to 185 for you. GL
 
Yeah dude I'm close to the same size as you and I'm rock 184s and 185s. I used to ride longer skis back in the day but haven't gone over 178 for a while. I fought it tooth and nail but now that I'm used to it again, I like the extra length. It felt a little cumbersome at first in the park but after a few runs I was fine.
