The Sir Francis Bacons are a pretty soft, playful ski. For a guy your size, I would definitely recommend the 130's. I skied mine almost every day last year. They are perfect for pow(the best pow skis I have ever skied) and you can still ski them in other conditions once you get used to the size underfoot. It just takes a little more time and effort to get them from edge to edge. You will love these skis when it is deep. So effortless!!!
