and since no one suggested 180's yet, that goes to people that will eventually say 180

it all depends on how talented of a skier you are.

It depends on what you like to ski, if you ski the whole mountain/bc, then mayby 180, if you ski mostly park then 170/175. The biggest factor is what you really like and feel most comfortable with.

 
yea theyll be fine, i skied 180s when i was 5'8 and liked it, but then i went to 176cm and liked it better so...

If you suck my soul I will lick your funky emotions.

Don't go over 176.

hey man i'm just about 6' and 135lbs and i just bought new skis in a 176, i'm very confident i made a good choice so i think you should go 175-180

 
If you told us whether or not you are still growing, how much aggressive skiing outside of park you do, then you may recieve plausible advice. 181 won't do you too well if you aren't a good skier.

I suggest 173s or 176s.Smaller skis help you do rotations.Too short,and you have no stability.

Ski shold stop at the mouth or the nose when you do big-air

dont get 180's they are too big. and the only way bigger skis help on jumps are with a little more pop, but your rotatio is a lot slower so its kinda counter productive. go with like 170-175

short skis are for pussy park rats, I'm 5'11 and i ride 179's that are a littl to short. get 180-183 for the whole mountain.

 
just make sure the fucking skis are taller than you. DONT go with 169s like some faggots are suggesting. long skis are harder to use all around, jumps, rails, skiing, whatever, but dont you want to be challenged? yes you do. get long skis.

go demo some differen sizes, i am like 6' and im riding 178cm lines which means 176cm. its all about personal preference one you get to about 5'9 175cm-185cm.

short skis are lame dude, deffinitely go with 180's at 5'9 and still growing 180's will be about perfect, don't under any circumstances get anything shorter then 176, otherwise people will point and laugh.

the longer ski doesn't make much difference for rails, as for jumping longer is deffinitely more stable and overall better, but at the same time the longer your skis the slower you will tend to rotate. Myself, I prefer a longer ski!
