I am a fairly aggressive skier, 6', and 185 lbs. My main thing is bowls and bumps, but I still ski glades, deep pow, groomers, and occasional BC. I need a one ski quiver for both budget and convenience. Based on what I've read and heard, this seems like my ski. I ski a 177 Salomon ten eighty JF Cusson model. It's not bad but I'm looking to upgrade. Normally I would go for the 181 no question, but in the description of the non-soft one it says size down for best results. I think I'm fine with the 181 but I just want a second opinion. Any advice?

maybe too little too late but just posted a review on the regular flex model. I'm 162-165lbs minus gear and have the 181. Not that super stiff but definately not a weak flex. They rip through turns at mach. You'll like either but I would go the regular flex if I had to guess for your size. Some metal in the softer flexing ski would be interesting. Dimensions that I measured on the 181 are 145/111/136... purrrfect Hope that helps
