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.

haha relax he was probably taking the piss. youd need bigger if you wnted to charge steeps etc. but for the park 181s fine. + hardly any companies i know of make skis that go bigger, line etc. always cuts out at 178 for anthems etc. and my head mojos were in the biggest size, 181 also. im about 6ft 2 and 175
