Trying to decide between the El Hombre in a 177 and the Baron...

Trying to decide between the El Hombre in a 177 and the Baron in a 170. 155 lb, 5'10", expert tele skier. Been on the Atomic Kongur 177cm for the last 3 years - want a "turnier" ski for riding the lifts, all terrain & conditions. Lots of short fat skis in Vail's bowls really change the snow conditions, so I need to adapt. Any recommendations?

Those are 2 very different skis, FAT and all mountain. I have skied the Baron and it is the gripiest Tele board I have ever skied. It is a great all mountain lift ski and would be a great choice. But if you are looking for a back bowl ski and want something not as wide as the El Hombre, do not forget the Reverend. I would say if you are looking at getting a 170cm, the Baron would be a bit small. The wider Reverend in a 170 would be a nice all around ski for you.
