i am looking at stls in 183 but i kinda think they are a little big, im about 5'10 and 160lbs, and i live in nj so i would center em for park and switch riding, but i dk if 183 would be too big for me, and being in nj and all should i downsize to 177, any expiriences with stls on park on east coast would be awseome and i heard that the flex difference on the 183 and 177s is different, if so how diff and would if be a big change from 171 line mike nicks, thanks

You can ski 183 easy, STL's are so light, and so easy to ski, it shouldn't be a problem. If you want to downsize, I have 177's for sale.

They're extremely easy to spin with, I had mine center mounted, and they spun like a dream.
