181 is a good size. I would never go any smaller.

if you're 6 foot.. any ski from about 175-185 is gonna be perfect. I'd say a 180 is prime. As far as a specfic ski? It depends on what flex you like.
For mostly all park? I'd say you want something a little softer than addicts. I'd suggest comte's. T-halls. Invaders/Anthems. p3's. fujatives.
But, if you like a stiffer ski. I'd suggest AR6's. Public's. Chronics.

Although it is all personal preference, I wouldn't get anything less than 180 if I were you. I am 6'2 and 160, and ski a 180 park ski... I wish I would have gone 185. I am going to be buying something 190+ for powder this year.

alright thanks, i think im gonna go with the comtes, my original plan. they sound like a sick ski. im worried 181 will be a bit too long for me, i am used to a shorter ski and 176 sounds perfect. thanks for the help.
