I am think a 110 cm ski would probably be pretty good for you. but nothing over 120, that would be a little too gnarly, bra

you could ride longer skis like up to a i77 for park if you wanted, but you don't have to get rid of the skis you already have...

Do you think for a 6'2'' guy *180 lbs* a 171 would be too small...i'm thinking about a pretty stiff ski though...any help would be great thanks

Ride some 177's. That would be perfect.

I'm 5'11-6foot, and on 181's.

177 range is pretty good 4 ur size, but theres really not that much difference between that and a 169, especially not a $400 difference (or however much u would pay for the new 177). this is especially true if ur a park rat and not wanting to ski out of the park as much.
