I am about 6'1" and 165 lbs.  I've been looking at the Scott P4's but am not sure what size to get them in and if they are the right ski for me.  Is it too wide of a ski to do everything on, such as park, pow and anything else basically.  I'll be mostly out west with them.  Let me know what your think.

I had the 181's last year, great skis.  They ski short, I'm your height so go with the 181's.  Can't give you feedback on how they are in the park, but they are a bit on the heavy side.  Kills pow, fun on the grooms, decent in bumps, very stable, good in crud.  Edge hold seriously lacking on harder days, hope this helps.

^ i would agree with that. fun playful ski.

i would say that at 6'1" you should get the 191 though. mount further forward and you're set.
if you are a more aggressive skier though or like to rip groomers a lot i think there are better options though. like prophets. or steezes.

yea, im 6'3" and skied some 181's for a day, found they are heavy and made for straightlining, really shallow sidecut and not that great all around. if you are just charging crap all doy then they are good, if not i would second the recommendation for some steezes...

I honestly didn't like these skis at all when i demoed them. There was no powder so that probably played a part in my decision, but on hardpack and bumps, they just weren't responsive enough.
