I'm 5'9" and i have 180s. They seem perfect. And rockered skis ski shorter. So 181 will be fine.

they are rockered and if you center mount them(which you should, considering they are symmetrical and meant for park) they will definatley ski short. 171 will likely not provide good stability off anything bigger anyway. If you are still unsure why not get them in 176?

there's no 176 for the rocker

go for the 181 for sure.

181 center mounted will be fine. You will get used to it, and always go longer when you cant decide.
