Right now I am riding 167 rossignol scratches. I would enjoy longer skis because mine are starting to get to small.

I am 5,11 and 180 pounds.

My choices are the 171 nintward butterlicious' or the 181's.

I am still growing so should I go with the 181's?

I rode my ski coaches 181 scratches and I enjoyed those a lot more.

181 without question, you have around 30lbs on me and I have no problem with a longer ski. So much more stable.

at 5'11", I think you would enjoy the stability of the 181, but i guess its all preference.

yeah.  you'd be stupid not to go with 181. especially when you're 180 pounds.  you'll love the extra speed and added stability, and it won't look like you're riding around on snowlerblades!
