Im very similar height/weight and i rode the '08 181cm armada pipe cleaner @ nz this season ... Enjoyed every minute, fully legit ski and you can really load up the tails and launch :P

Do some research before you mount em tho ... I like them centered but it does take some getting used to ...

i would say go to atomic punks cause they are a excellent ski. get them in size 181 and have them mounted -3. so they will perform excellent in park but also perform excellent all over the mountian. the only reason to center mount them is if you ride backwards just as much as you ride fowards

mount them -1 or -2, whatever the forward mounting point is. there was just more stability mounted a hair back, they skied much much better there.

Honestly, I've ridden Armadas for 5 years now, and I've never been anything less than stoked on them. Super durable, super fun skis. Edges hold up great, bases, all that. Only problems with armada is top sheet chipping, but thats just aesthetics. Highly recommend Armada skis.

PCs would be good for your height/weight at 181
