I'm 5' 10" 185, I'm a good skier, I ski Vail...

I'm 5' 10" 185, I'm a good skier, I ski Vail every season, hit the back bowls, but also rip groomers, and occasionally go into the trees and the bumps on the front side. I want to be able to ski the pow with ease, and at the same time have enough maneuverability to go through glades safely. Like I said before I also rip groomers hard! I'm in outer mongolia a lot, the Minturn Mile is one of my favorite things to do. Basically I want to know if I should go with the 175's or the 185's, I wish they made a 180. What should I do? Are both sizes 115 underfoot?

85s. Without a doubt. These turn so quick and most of the front and back of the ski is off the ground on groomers. If you really like to 'rip groomers hard', you may not like the reduced edge length of a rocker-style ski. Check out the Armada ARV or AR6 for a great riding ski that will hold a better edge on the way back to the lift.
