I'm 6'6" 205 lbs and I have moved around in ski size from 171-186 the last couple years. really having trouble figuring out what I like. I ride mostly park.
anyone have suggestions on what size ski I SHOULD be riding for park?+K for anything that can guide me the right direction.
if you think you got something funny to say then pm me or fuck off.
 
damn 6'6!! :)

you should try to find a ski matching your own height (6'6" / 198 cm). Go for that or just an inch or two below.
 
Judging on your profile this is your 2nd season... so i would stay in the realm of 179 to 183 or so. Maybe even 177 if you're just beginning with park. With your height, getting into the lower side of 171 things are going to get a little squirrelly and somewhat difficult when you venture into pow.

Here's the thing, with long park skis, you might find yourself getting hung up on boxes rails more than a short ski, plus the learning curve on super long skis is harder. But you don't want to go too short.

I'm 6' and anything under 170 just feels a little squirrelly and weird to me, but that's just mho. Glad to hear you switched over from boarding man... hope this helps.

 
181 for sure, I am 5'11 135 pounds and i ride 177 volkl walls. You should deffinetly stay in the 181 range, anything smaller will just be to small especially if you are hitting jumps. You can get away with a smaller ski for rails but jumps you will start washing out if you go to small. Also because your on the bigger size go for a stiffer ski, this will give you a lot more stability in the park.
 
184-186 cm, i am 6 ft 5 and i ride 178 and it is way to small and i def need a bigger size more like 184, also demo different sizes and skis to find the right one
 
try to find a ski that is about the same height as where your eyes are. thats what i have and ive heard that's what a lot of people use. works great for me so u should give it a try too :)
