I'm about the same height and am looking for about 175. Depends on your skill level though but they should be good for you.

long is always good. you end up regretting short skis more than regretting long skis i think and with a center mount its all gooood

I find it damn near impossible to ride a ski that is as tall as me/shorter than me.

Wow you ride really short. I'm 5' 9" and ride 182. To OP 171 is a really good length, you will regret going any shorter.

I have exact same stats, I would say a 175-180 park ski (that's what I would use) or a 170 if you mostly will be hitting rails.

im 5'11 and 150, and i ride anything between 168's and 180's. i have an older pair of 168s that i use if i wanna beat around rails for a day, or some 180's if i wanna fly some jumps. both are center mounted so they do shorten up a bit, but its all in the preference. and if your riding them for a season, its always fun to try something new with a different challenge to it.
