I have seen kids your height on the 177cm.  The afterbangs centered mounted ride shorter. Its all the skiers  opinion.   If you like longer skis, get the 177 cm, if not get  the 166.

when in doubt.. go bigger. you are more likely to regret having skis too small than too big

get what you are comfortable with, if you have never rode anything larger than 160 than get the 166 id say

If you ever can't decide just go bigger. The center mount will make them ride short anyway.

you should be fine on the 166. dont buy a new pair till you actually grow out of these. Im tired of everyone saying go bigger go bigger. Its really not necessary most of the time.

I disagree with this. 155 is waaaay too small for someone 6 foot

Really? Did you just abbreviate 'pounds' with 'pnds?'

I am the same height and 20 pounds less
My 166 a bangs are perfect for me (IMO)
Get the 177's
More stability on jumps too so you can hit bigger stuff
