176 for sure, i personally would find a park ski at 185 to be too long, 176 sounds way better and more fun, im 5'10 and thats my opinion

Some times I feel like a 181 would feel better for out of the park. If you like a much taller ski or spend more than half your time out of the park you would probably like it.
But I'm Heavier by like 30 lbs. And the 176 does feel pretty good every where in the park at my size. Just not as good when hauling ass down super steep stuff.
