i'm 5'11 and 155 and i have the 178's and i couldnt be happier

so unless you ski like a little girl (assuming you dont...) you should have zero problem

so get them!!!! they're soo much fun

178's man you won't be dissapointed.
they might sound big but if you center mount them, they'll feel perfect.

defently 178 because anthems are simetrical and center mounted skis ski shorter than if you mount them further back from center.  you wont be disapointed go 178

I would definitely go with 178's. They will be faster, and more stable. Center mount them for sure. You will love them.

definitely 178, i have them and i am 6 foot, and they are nice

center mounted skis feel smaller usually, so it's best to go a size up

I just ordered a pair of 171's and wonder if I should have gone 178.  I'm 5'9", 138 lbs, and have a 182 cm. pow/all mountain pair already, so these will be park only, with some all-mountain.  I'll be doing a mix of rails and jumps, but very little pipe.  Thought I should go short for a more agile ski, but obviously center-mounted, so now I wonder- Should I change?
