I'm considering the Bridge but torn between the 177 and 185. I'm 6'0" 175, 33 yrs old and ski very aggressively. I hit the whole mountain, want something that's stable when running the groomed, and mix in the bumps. My current skis are 175 Fischer Big Stix and while fun, they feel squirrly at high speed. I'm leaning towards the 185 for all mountain use but was curious about some feedback.

Sounds like the 185's would be good for you. The longer ski will benifit speed and stability but might sacrifice a little on quick turns. Really 7 cm isn't all that much but it depends on skill level and experience. Personally i like a bit of a smaller ski so i would get 177 but since you like speed and stability the 185 would be your best bet. Again only 7 cm difference that's just under 3 in so you should be just fine.
