For bumps and groomers a 169 would be better. In powder the 177 will be better because it will help you float. It will also be better for skiing crud. Keep in mind that twin-tip are short for their length. A 177 will be more like a 170-172 non twin.

Yo for your size you should absolutely stay away from the 169. You'll over-turn that thing. I'm 5'9" and 135lbs and swear by the 185cm, mounted a bit back. This ski rips the piss out of every condition...as long as the snow is less than boot-top deep. It's a little skittery in deep snow. Mounted back really helps w/ all mountain performance as this ski is a bit stiff for true freestyle. Even w/ them mounted back a few cm, you can still rally around the mountain switch a-okay!
