I would think the 171cm, I have found most people recommend skis slightly shorter than your height for park and for pow slightly taller.  For instance I'm 185cm tall and I've been told I want park skis (Armada Halos) at 182cm.

Get your ski's from home shipped to austria? It's remarkably cheaper than buying new ski's, that's fo sho!
