I would say yes buts it's really personal preference. If you're a good skier I'm sure you can handle them.

I'm 5'9"  182 pow skis and either 171 or 178 park skis.  I'll get them center mounted, so they'll probably ski a bit shorter.  Which should I go for?

Better question is how much do you WEIGH in comparison to your skis

I weigh 135 and rock 180's 182's and a pair of 185's.
