You should be able to handle 180s fine.

I just went from a 169cm 1080 to a 178cm Scratch BC and the difference isn't that huge.

You should be skiing around a 180 if you're 6' tall. I don't know much about the butterlicious, but since it's a park ski and you weigh 165 it'll be soft enough for sure, probably too soft for any aggressive all-mountain skiing. But I could be wrong, I've just never skied a park ski that was exceptional for all-mountain.

It won't matter much, 4cm is a little under 2".
All times are Eastern (-5)
