dude get the 181! I'm pretty close to your size 5'9" 150-160 and a 181 park ski is the perfect size. Perfect! There is a reason rossi, armada, fisher and others make a 181 park ski it is perfect size. And since they are addicts and will be centered mounted they should be prime. Go for it, I used to ski around 169-175s only and once I went 181 I never went back.
