Help with skis for Jackson Hole

I'm moving to jackson in a couple weeks and I'm in the market for a good big mountain/powder ski. I have to opportunity to proform k2 or line but I've got to do so in the next few days. I'm having trouble deciding which ski is right for me.
I really want the Opus but I'm 6'2 and feel a 185 is just to short for me. Same goes for the bacons. I like hellbents but I'm not sure if they would do well on the steeper terrain in Jackson. Also at 132 underfoot I think they may be too heavy and hard on my knees.
Let me know what you guys think.

The Opus or Bacon's at 186 would be fine. I'm 6'1" 190 and ride the 191 surface live life's and they work exceptionally well for me. My buddy just picked up the Opus and loves them. Obsethed's or Kung Fujas' would work real nice for you as well and both come in 189.
Outside of k2 and Line are a million choices but the ones above are your best bet for your proform.

I'm still just really hesitant on a 185. I guess its not a huge difference between that and the 189.
I'm looking into the obSETHed. I think they might make a good fit.
