186's would probably be more optimal.

I'm 5'10 and have 191 tours, filling the role of the big day ski. They take some manhandling when it gets tight and skied out, but they aren't bad if you can stay on top of them. I'd be on 186's if I had a desire for the stock version.

Im 5'9'' 160lbs and rock the 186. If your a super hard aggressive charger person maybe consider the 191. Like AK faces, Corbet's Couloir, Highlands bowl  stuff on the daily.
For normal regular riders go with 186. It will blow you mind as a pow ski. To be honest you'll probably want to sell your surface or blogs just to own more on3p skis.
