176 because 171 will be at your chin, and that would not be something you want. 176 would lie somewhere around the bridge of your nose and that is a prime size.

No Prime ski height for him is a 181. Why don't you instead of getting thalls, find something more suited to your skier level. Maybe el reys. You need somethong to beat on before you get better and ruin a great pair of skis.

6' 1" and you weigh 130 pounds? Damn. But I'd say 181.

I'm 5'7 and ski a 176. Don't even think about the 171. Personally, I like a longer stable ski, in saying that I will defiantly go with a 181 next time. You should go with the 181. 176 is probably still on the shorter side for you.

I would go short and get the 176. Its a easier length to spin and throw around to learn tricks.

Don't buy the Thalls. Get cheaper skis and buy yourself a few steaks with that saved money.

Damn I'm 5'9, 135 pounds and I'm skinny as shit. that sounds unhealthy buddy.
