I'm thinking about buying these for my Dad. He's 5"10 or 11. He would mostly ride groomers on the east coast and sometimes out in Park City. He has been skiing for year, can turn and carve well, likes speed. Would these be good?

I would say 170cm for the east. He would only want longer if he was primarily skiing out west.

I would say that you could easily get away with getting him the 177cm ski. That size would be stable enough, unless he is a heavier guy. But in general you only really need long skis on groomers for stability, so if he loves the high speeds, I would look into something maybe a bit longer.
