I am thinking of buying the Gotama but am unsure what size I should get. I am 5'11" and 155 lb. I am also an experienced and aggressive skier.

I'm the same size as you and find the 186cm incredibly easy to turn. I would not go shorter.

Thanks. That does help. I was thinking the 186 and you confirmed my intuition.

When it comes to skis that incorporate some sort of rocker technology you should choose a longer ski because it will ski shorter. If you do ski aggressively and enjoy fast speeds and will be skiing a lot of powder with this ski then I would definitely go with the 186. If you are a skier that does a lot of tight and quick turns in their skiing you might want to go with the 178, but I think the 186 would still be manageable. Hope this helps.
