I want to sell the 161's cause I feel they are too short...I'm pretty pissed off about wasting all that money on something i can't use...do you think that it is possible that I could still get away with skiing the 161's for a bit of park as well as all mountain stuff?

Not even a question. i'm 5'10 ski on 5 year old 177 1080's and Volkl G41's 188 as my pow ski. 161 is like a snowblade for your size and in all mountain it will squirell and speed will be no good.
