No-- the tails are just slightly raised kind of like the old rossi bandits, they sould ski well on groomers because there really stiff, also for your size i would 177cm the 169cm would be to short. 168 would be to the top of your nose im 5 11 and skied a 168 now a 174 but for someone 5 8 go with a 168 177 is too long for you unless you like longer skis. (adding) Im 5-7" and ski a 182cm , their is big advantages to ski a longer ski such as stability at speed, busting crud, float in powder not to mention carving ability not just slidding your skis around. The allmountain ski models of the past few years are ment to be skied a little longer then say 5 years ago, also salomon skis run short, example their 174 gun is only 171, so most twin tip or partial twintip skis are shorter then there size indicates except for K2, they are about 4cm longer then there size
