I am 5'10" 225lbs and looking to get into the bridge. I had 177 Karmas and loved them...unfortunatly someone else loved them too and ripped them off while I enjoyed a refreshment at Cascade Mtn. I live in the midwest and make a trip out west every year. In the midwest I ski park 40% and rip big turns and hit rollers the rest of the time. Out west I like the trees. I am torn between the 177 and 185. Any comments?

You do two completely different types of skiing, so sizing is a little difficult. It stability at speed is more important to you (big turns and hitting rollers), go with the 185. If the park and trees are where you are more at home, the 177 might work better. If you're truly stuck between two sizes however, I would always reccomend to go bigger.
