Ski sizing

Alright I am 5'11ish-6. I weigh 150 lbs and I am a pretty decent skier. I ski aggressively in the park and all mountain. I am however not the best park skier even though I am in the park 90% of the time. I am torn on getting armada arv 96s in 177 or in 184. What do you guys think? I can do 360s off of sketchy stuff but no real big stuff. I can front 2 and have done a handful of front swaps. Any ideas on which size?

I have a 172 park ski at 5'6, so 177 would be too small for u. def go 184

I have skied that ski in both the sizes you are looking at and I'm just a bit shorter but about 175lbs. For me out the park 184 was my preference but in the park the 177 was actually super fun. If you are still progressing and not just boosting to the moon on everything the 177 will be great for you. Not weighing too much will mean your not going to overflex so unless you really want them to perform better out of the park I would go 177
