Just curious if anyone with experience can give me advice on sizing for the Malolo? I am 6'1" and weigh 195 lbs. I plan on using this board on a Heli trip. We will mainly be boarding wide open, fast, deep, power... I am thinking about the 166 over the 162??

I would go with the 162. As you can see by Turner's answer the 166 is a big board for big riders. With fresh pow, you should have plenty of float and plenty of fun on the 162.

I'm 6'2'' 230lbs and ride a 166, but my front binding is as far forward as possible. When I set it back at all it feels like I can't control the nose very well, so I'd vote the 162 for you. Riding it this season I feel like I'm just big enough for the 166.
