I'm looking into buying some new park skis, and I haven't really decided on any particular ski or brand yet, but what size should I get? I am 6'1"ish and 170, and my last skis were 168's, which proved to be quite small. I was thinking like 175-180 or somewhere in there, but I'm not really sure. Halp?

You're my size, and I'd really recommend something at least 180+. The length helps with stability and landings and all those key things

I'm 6'2 and my first park skis were 168s. Then I went to 178s and could never touch the shorter ones again. Then this year I went to 183s, and now I won't touch my 178s. You definitely need to be 180+.
