The STL is a softer ski, but in order to know how well you would size up to these skis we need to know how much you weigh, where you ski and how aggressive a skier you are.

i say go 180 TNK.  at 183 lbs, you are going to overpower the STL.  go with the stiffer ski (TNK) even though its a little bit shorter.

If I were you I would check out the MSP. They are a bit wider and much more versatile but can still shred the park real good. I demoed them this summer in the 171 because I am 140lbs and 5'10. However if you size up they should work fine. They come in longer lengths than the TNKs and are stable, stiff, and solid. If you are a powerful skier, this ski will work perfectly for you and you will love it.

I have a pair of 180 TNKs and I'm 5'11 180.  I like long skis.  While they might be a little on the short site, they are wider than the STLs.  They are a fun ski, and are stiff too, which is more beneficial for larger people.  I would say it would probobly be fine.  They measure a little short though, like 178 or something I think.
