178 for sure. 171 is waay to short for someone your height.

Not even a question. 178 for sure. if you're used to a shorter ski, you'll enjoy the extra length, plus those are super flexible so you'll want some more ski for stability

I'm 6'1" and I ride the 178 traveling circus skis. Definitely go with those over the 171.
