Hey Perry, just put a very good ski buddy on a pair of the Head Rev85's today. He'll be skiing them out tomorrow. He's about your height and weight and he's on the 184's.

I have not skied the 85 myself....

The thing I really like about the 105 is how versatile it is...It's very doable on groomers, awesome on crud, bumps and in the 6inch of pow I've had them in. It's very stable, easy to initiate, holds edge extremely well,, and oh so quick edge to edge. I'm skiing them in the 181.

I have heard the 105's work best with lighter guys so I'd demo it first if I were you to be sure. Also, I've mounted mine 3cm forward of the factory mount...and it rocks for me there. In the factory mount position, the ski felt so much less repsonsive but the plus 3, it cooks. The rocker tip is oh so co-operative in crud and pow, just planes up nice, no flopping around, and the tail is solid for all kinds of turn shapes.

I hope you get a chance to demo both....let us know your thoughts.
Best..G

ps....send my your email address plez
