I'm 5 10 about 160 pounds and I am thinkjng of getting line chronics 185 but is that too long? I would mount dead centre to make them feel shorter, I ride 60%park 40%everything else.

Line skis are on the short side then advertised. They will be perfect size. Since there not symertical ski I'd go -2 from center.

5'11 and riding 184 Nordica Ace of Spades obviously centered, you'll be fine just have to get used to the extra ski under you.

Chronics feel great at center mount especially if you are skiing mainly park.

177's for sure unless you are really light or an unagressive skier, may seem long at first but once you're used to them you'll appreciate the extra ski under you in just about any conditions.
