Im about 6' too and I have had 180cm skis, but now I have 175cm. Im sure that you can spin with 180cm skis. And its pretty much the weight that matters not height!

yeah dude always go bigger, because getting a ski that is too short blows. If the ski is longer its just takes like two spins to get used to the length and your good.

Dude, the kid only weighs like 130 or whatever....170cm to 175cm is more than enough ski for this kid and we all know it....WEIGHT matters, height doesn't mean shit. And uhh....you are one skinny mother f-er....:) Good luck, hope you make a good decision.

My metabolism is so damn fast i will spend full weekends sitting on my couch and eating constantly and i can't gain weight at all. I am 6'1' tall and i weigh 133 lbs. Yet i have all the strength i need. it's strange. i got my body fat tested and i am 3% body fat. I'm getting some 179 Public Enemies anyways, i need some long skis.

It's actually all about weight not height, I'm exactly like you, and I'm happy with my 165 candides, I tried some 183 enemies and they were WAY too long.
