The Chronic Blend skis seem to be a good all mountain-make-it-your-terrain-park kinda ski. Depending on how you consider advanced, I'd say they may be just long enough. Personally, I'd go for the 165 size, cause it will be easier to learn better tricks on a shorter ski. Once you feel that you are solidly in the advanced area of the terrain parks, I'd vote for the 172. :)

Go for the 172's,I am 5'11" and ski a 178cm Line Mike Nick and love them.I can hit steeps,deeps,bumps and jumps all on one pair of skis.The most versatile ski I have ever owned,with the extra width of the Blends they should be even better in off piste stuff but still nimble enough for the park.

As always, ask the sales assistant his/her advice, but I typically err on the side of shorter rather than longer with new generation skis. The tips of the skis I'm on now come up to the bridge of my nose, and I find they're more efficient and lighter without sacrificing control.

I would start at a 167 since you mentioned intermediate.
