So I bought a pair of 166 head oblivions when I was about 5'8 I've since grown to about 5'11. I weigh pretty light for my height (134 ibs) are these skis too small for me? I'm skiing mostly park with a bit of all mtn

Yeah, they are too small. You are light as fuck for your height so this is kind of an odd situation but normally someone at 5'11" would use something around 180cm. However for your weight, 166 isn't that far off. I'd still go with something around 180 though.

Yeah they're pretty short. By my standards, I wouldn't even touch them. But then again, I like my skis to be a few cms taller than me

Id say you should go anywhere from 174-178. Im 5'7 115 and ride a 168 (with quite a bit of rocker) and they feel perfect. They are exactly the same height as i am. I like a ski that 1inch smaller-1inch taller than me. It can depend on weight, rocker, and where you'll be using it.
