if 171 isn't an option i would say 177 since you're growing anyway. and i think too long is better than too short

i was thinking that 171 is what would be best becasue i want about a good 2 years out of them and will ski more park the second year so maybe shorter skis will be a litle better the next year.

That would be perfect for you.  Not gonna lie, I've had 171s for 3 years now, and now I'm 180 lbs and 6 ft tall.  Ridiculous, eh?  Yeah, I need new skis too.  But anyways, 171 should be good.
