Depends on if the ski is going to be your daily driver or a dedicated park ski. If you’re only going to be using it in the park go short. Less length means faster spins and quicker for technical tricks. Go longer if you want more stability outside of the park. Other good skis that are similar would be the Faction Candide 1.0 or the K2 Poacher

I'm 5'7" 160 and ride the 176 Magnus. If you think you are going to grow a bunch over the summer, I'd recommend the 176, otherwise I'd go with the 171s. It kind of depends on what you've been used to riding in the past as well. If you've been riding a ~150 vs ~160 the transition to a bigger ski is going to feel a bit different at first. Can't go wrong with ON3Ps though :)
