You are at an awkward height to choose between the two. If you spend more time on rails go with the 175s and if you spend more time on jumps go with the 181s. Either will be good though.

Well it would help if we knew how many jumps( and the size) and how many rails you will be doing, but 181 should be good.

Well if the jumps are not really big well I would probably go with 176 but if they are big you should get 181s. I have last years in 181 and I am 6'0 and the jumps where I ski are small and they work fine so either would be fine.

idk if your growing or not but i would say go with the 181. they are not the stiffest of skis so if you hit bigger jumps it will be better to have more ski to land on and i think that you could get used to them on rails pretty quickly.

you will love them i used mine last sunday and i only got a small taste of that they are like but super fun and playful (mine are mounted with fks 140 at true center)

I'm also your height and i went with the 176's . Just because i think the 181 would feel a bit to big, however they would feel quite stable on larger jumps, or if you just skiing grooms and such . It also kind of depends on your weight as well.
