Shorter than you.  5'11" and 182 -- and 63 years old.

I actually demoed the Head Peak 84 Pro at SugarBush and was quite impressed. I liked it quite a bit, even more than the iM78's that I had a few years back, but the iM78's were 177 and the demo Peak 84 was a 170.  I'm not looking for an 84mm waisted ski or it would a real candidate. And this was all on VERY firm conditions. 72-74mm is as wide as I'm looking at.

The Kastle's might get some consideration, depending on how much they discount.  In the 2011-12 models, I think the Progressor 800 is a better match for me than the 900.  Did they change the 12-13 models?
