Take it worth a grain of salt but I'd go 174 - at least my personal preference is for my park skis to be a bit taller than me.
Keep in mind we're only talking 6mm difference between the two, so don't stress it too much!

if its mostly park skiing, I'd go the 168, it will be an easier weight to throw around on rails and for skiing street.

I'm the same height as you, been running the 169 keys for a few seasons. Long enough for some steeze, light enough for some quick feet on the rails

Would 180 be too long? Some one in my area is selling his.. that’s like a +15cm around of my height for park / all mtn

you’d have more ski therefore more stability? 🤷‍♂️,, im 5’7 and ride 183 wets and personally rly like the bigger skis. it could be a bit of a learning curve but if youre still growing or wanna challenge yourself and you can get a deal id say shoot
