Wow dude, I'm 5'9" and i can't ski anything less than a 170, and even at that length they feel short, my everyday is a 181.  I would put you on at least a 170 - 180 range

It should be what you prefer that you ski on.  Short skis are so easy to spin, and if you are only doing small and medium jumps and rails then they are a great choice.  I find them scary on larger jumps though so I ski the longest length of any park ski I buy(next year I will be on my 181 PCs that measure like 184, 189 LL2s and 188(194)Coombas) because I ski fast and when I am skiing park I mostly do jumps.  I'm also over 6'0" though..  the shortest park ski I would ever get if I am only owning one pair would be 176+

Skis are 176
One core shot on tip of suspect ski that has been p texd
Also there was a delamination of the edge on the suspect ski that was taken to a shop and fixed.
Usual wear and tear on top sheet
edges are still in close to mint condition
these skis still have a lot of life in em
Pm me an offer
