Boomerangs were so great but pretty heavy(had demo bindings, but still..). in pow you can ski the tightest areas if you want, and honestly, for just turning and such, might have been my favorite pow ski(I've been on bents, chetlers, One Lifes(I own them), boomerangs, 202 lotus 138s(also own), coombas(sold before this season), wrenegades, SFBs(DONT GET), and a handfull of others..). They were great, the only area I would fear a little is park(don't mount forward of reco. at all), since they are a bit heavy and mounted back a bit.
Wrenegades could be another good choice, but they lack the perfectly done taper of the boomerangs, which is what I loved so much about them. I think wrens were a 191 too, and would be better in park.
You're too big, and they're really not very fun.
I tried some Lotus 120s yesterday, and it may sound wierd but those could be a good choice. They were really stable on groomers and can nose butter smoothly and easily, and ski pow and crud great. Also, they're the lightest of all skis like them. Less hooky and lighter than boomerangs, but a similar shape(that has been around way longer than boomerangs, and the sidecut has stayed the same but the rocker and build have changed). That was the 190 length, which will feel on the shorter side for you(and did for me coming off of 202 lotus 138s) but would be a good choice.
