Fred, where do you ski? At your size a typical advanced skier in the trees and steeps in powder and soft snow is on 100 plus skis..... but your answer here is going to be most likely different from an answer at TGR and Epic. It really depends a lot on your level and what you like. For instance, I like wider skis, my everyday is a Kastle MX98, my powder ski is a Atomic BentChetler 122 underfoot, with tip/tail rocker.  I am 6' 168. I ski a lot of steamboat pretty tight trees and enjoy more technical terrain, I am not an expert but I have fun. I like the feel of wider boards, there are many here who are very technique-oriented skiers who prefer narrow skis, there are no right or wrong answers its what's right for you.  So its probably a good idea to figure out what you like and then gravitate to those who are like-minded.
