Why would you even consider 166's when you are 6 foot and 180lbs? I'm the same height as you, but a little bit lighter, and i would definately go with something around 180 if i were to get new park skis now. Currently on 178's, which feel awesome. With you weighing 180lbs, i'd look for something ATLEAST 180cm. Short skis suck balls.

do you do only rails. If you do jumps then these would be too flexy i recommend the step ups they are stiffer, but  have the same construction
