Your my exact height and weight and I ride the 181 thall. Its pretty soft, so unless you only ski lots of slow urban stuff, get the 181.

At 5'9" you are about 180cm tall so I'd go 176 as a minimum, but if I were you I'd go 181 for stability.

176 if you prefer rails. 181 if you want big jump capability.

i'm 5'10 and i rode the 176cm this past season, now i got the 181's cause the 176's felt a bit short for my liking.

I'd go 181cm, they'll probably feel big at first since your used to a shorter ski, but once you get used to it you'll be happy you didn't go shorter.
