If u do more jumps and big hits go with the next size up it will help
if u do more rails u could get away with 176 but for being 5'11" 176 should be the shortest u should go, id recommend 181 actually

Im getting new 164's im only 5'4" you can always go with 176 though, its personal preference normally ppl that hit jumps and are decently good go for longer skis because its more stable and apparently easy to spin. 166 to 181 is a pretty big difference but u tend to get comfortable with new skis pretty fast. Im going from 149 to 164. hope this helps

It all depends on what you like. I am 5' 9" and I ride 169s. I love them. They are the perfect length for me, because I prefer to ride skis slightly short.
