I'm 6'0", 165lbs, I ski like 80% park, 20% trees.

I ski in vermont (the ice is soo nice) and I've been skiing on mike nick pro 171s for last 2 seasons and they are beat to hell, so I need something new for next year.

I was thinking about T-hall's or sticking with line and getting chronics (but I don't have my heart set on anything at this point)... what would you guys suggest?

Yeah, TMs are amazing on ice. They're the perfect east coast ski.

I feel real comfortable with the 171s in the park right now and I'm not sure I'd want to go much bigger than that. I know its partially a matter of preference, but what size ski is best for me?

171 is pretty short for you being 6' tall. Longer skis can be intimidating at first, but they ride much better. I'm only 5'10" and I have a pair of 180s that I love.
