Probabaly 175, I'm 5'10', 150 pounds and ride 185 and they're no problem, infact i'm even thinking of getting the JP/JF pro model which is 191. But i thing that size would mostly be good for the bc.
Long skis rule!!!

i rode 170's when i was about your age. that was a long time ago though. you probably want 165ish, depending on how long you want to keep them

Yeah, 160-165 sounds about right... somewhere in that range.
