I'm the same height with the old 183 blends. I would go 185, they feel really stable at speeds. Haven't really done much park with them though.

Whoever is voting 176 is probably trolling you. I ride the 185s and I'm about 6'0. Trust me go for 185. Especially if you're barely riding park..

im 6 feet, 155 and ride the 178. Looking back I should have sized up. I still like my blends and can ski anything in them, but at very high speed and crud I miss the extra length. If you arent doing much park id say get the bigger size. Overall very fun ski though and you could go either way and be fine.

I think in the wider park ski it's best to upsize. Compared to true park skis I would always go longer on this style of ski. The blend is pretty soft too so to get the best stability I would certainly go for the 185. The length may feel a little long on rails initially but you will adapt and every where else the will kill it.
