179-185. Generally, your skis should be about the same height as you, or longer, especially if you're mounting them center.

I'm an inch shorter and five pounds lighter than you and I ride 185-195 depending on the ski and what it's for.  But I also don't ride a lot of park.  I'd suggest something around 185 for you unless you're doing a lot of rails, in which case you could go 5cm shorter if you wanted.
