I'm 6'1", 250 lbs. Grew up racing GS, and have been a bomb the groomers at lightspeed guy until about 3 years ago. Now I ski everything but the tight chutes and deep powder/trees at Mammoth, Squaw and Alpine and currently have a pair of older 181cm K2 Apache X (109/68/99) that I have completely grown out of skill-wise. I'm looking for a ski that will make the powder and ungroomed steeps easier to manage, but still let me bomb everything else. These Missions seem like great skis, but I'd be going from narrow to mid-fat and these have no metal in the core. All the reviewers weigh much less than I do - will these be stable and are the 183s long enough? Any suggestions? I'm heading up to Mammoth this week and will be demoing skis, but any thoughts would be appreciated.
