i'm five nine and 150- and i got the 178's and they work fine, but they're even a bit soft for me. see if you can buy a stiffer ski second hand- unless you like soft skis.

181's would probably be good. i got 161's last year and i was 5'9 185lbs. and they held up fine but it was sketchy when i started goin fast. why i got 161's? i have no friggen idea haha

id say definatle go with the invaders, but get the 178s i would think, you would probably washout on jumps. you could probably pull it off though. and you can get the invaders for 209$ on evogear.com and ask aroung for some coupon codes i forgot what they were. so you could end up getting them for like 170. goodluck
