weigh 190-200 lbs. What is the best weight - length ratio for this board? I ski the trees and the steeps at Alta and Snowbird primarily but still like to rip the groomers fast as well.

I am 6' 185 lbs and I have the 184, and use it for trees and pow on the east coast, but it is the Ice Coast so I still ski lots of hardpack, whether it be in the trees, moguls, or on groomers. I feel like this length is perfect, and I would definetly bring it anywhere. The weight isn't noticeable, even coming from my super light backcountry setup. This is probably because they really float and still rail on groomers. However, I have used the 173, and they are still stable, and are even more manuverable, with only a little less floatation. Hope that helps.
