Thank you for the feedback. I am seeing some great deals on the rev 85 out there. It is very tempting to pull the trigger on one. I hesitate a bit because I had demoed the 170 on groomers at Winter Park, but didn't get a chance to try the 177, and for where I ski, I would definitely want the longer length.
Is the feeling that the new monsters are quite a bit better and I should probably wait? Always a tough call between having to demo new skis and so on, versus just having them at the beginning of the season.
If you don't mind, what is the consensus on the 85 at this point and has The 177 felt too long for some of the relatively smaller skiers like me, at 5'9" about 170 pounds?
Thank you, I realize I'm being a bit repetitive here and grasping a bit at straws, but new ski decisions are always tough. Thanks again.
