i would say 176 im like 511 140 and thats what i ride. 176 sounds long but when they are mounted it feels so much shorter, but like nomensteven said if you're just starting out it might be a bit big, but if you're not defintely go 176

do you think i could handle the 181's?
Im a very good skier but i am fairly new in the park (im still trying to get down 360's clean etc.)

rock the 176 for sure. 170 is too short, and the 180 would be a bit overkill.
