There aren't going to be many twin tips that are going to be big enough for you.  I'd check out the 193 mojo 90, 189 Seth, or 190 VCT if I were you.

Depends what you wanna be doing. IF you wanna be skiing switch a lot in pow and doing butters and stuff in pow then the bacons should still probably work fine for you. If you wanna be doing more traditional big mountain skiing I'd look into getting some Armada ANTs or 189 AKs

acctually ya maybee some prophet 130s. I'm 165 and getting bacons, they'll ride very differently for you than for me they'll be more like the lizzas would be for me. I was considering getting lizzas instead but I decided to go with the bacons

i'm thinking the bacons cause i'd like them to ride like the lizzies. i ride all over the place. not really any rails, but jumps and stuff. i'm definately not always in pow, but whenever i can.

The Bacons would definitely be good, but also think about the 189 Made'n (AK enemy) and 188 JP vs. Julien. Also if you are thinking about VCTs, get the 190 EHP, its the same ski but bigger.
