I would go with the Icelantic Nomad 105 or 115 in 181 length. I have the 2016 Da Nollie, which is basically the same ski just symmetrical, and I love it. They are pretty flexy so the longer size will be good.

Definitely sure. They have a good amount of rocker and are flexy so it will feel like a shorter cambered ski. Also I'm guessing your still growing. I'm 15 and got the 170s. I totally regretted it because I grew like 3+ inches and now they are too short. Still in good condition though

Id think you'll be fine if you are still growing. I rode the Da Nollie in a 170 for 2 seasons when i was 166cm and grew to about 174cm at the end of the life of them and they started to feel flex out a little. Id say the the 180cm should be perfect, especially for pow and all mountain slaying on the 105 or 115.

Atomic Bent chetlers for the win. I am 5'9" and I have the 185cm. They are more playful than any other wide ski. They are good out of tha pow too and can stomp any cliff in tha world. If u don't think your gunna grow that much more the 179cm would b perfect
