my friends about your size and he went with the 174, but I have 176 and 185 skis. I would go for the 179s if i were you.

depends what you're looking for. if you're skiing a lot of soft snow, then yeah, go 179. if you're on the east coast, and its your all mountain ski as well as park ski, go 174. they'll turn quicker than the 179s will, which is nice when you can only make 10 turns from top to bottom if your home mountain is as small as mine is.
