Voile Insane Ski

Why do the graphics on these skis not match the graphics on Voile's site? Are these 09/10 skis? The graphics look like they're from the early 90's... i don't like them at all. The photos on the voile site look much better. http://www.voile-usa.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&

Do shorter but wider skis work better than long skinny ones? It would seem like that would be the way to go, because you would still get good float, and not have to wrangle enormously long skis through the trees.

I'm not sure what size i'd need. I've been learning to ski the past couple seasons (i'm a snowboarder of about 15 years) and have a pair of G3 Ticket skis right now. They work pretty good on groomer and in a little powder, but i don't feel like they float enough.
These are a bunch wider but i'm not sure how long i should get. I'm 6'0" and 210 lbs. I ride wide boards and like a 158-164.
