Youll have a great time on them. They sound like the perfect ski for you.

im about the same size as you and i really like them except i bent them within the first two weeks. because they have 2 layers of titanium in them, if you crash really hard in the backseat you will make the tails rockered. it kinda sucks but other than that they seem pretty bombproof.

They are very fast. Probably will be faster than your stepups. Nordica used their race bases for these skis and damn do they flyyyy. But with that being said, keep up with maintenence on them though, wax them very regularly and keep em clean.

yeah. I love mine and I probably picked them up around 2 weeks ago cuz I broke my skis and they are very fast. Definitely keep them maintained and they will serve you well. my bases arent the most durable as far as rocks are concerned but for rails they are killer. they may seem a bit soft for you since you are so big, but they will obviously hold up as shown by Schlopy. Basically you chose one of the best park skis in the game. I have some friends who ride them 12 months a year of urban and at windells and goin hard at the mountain. they have never broken a pair somehow, but they brake boots and FKS 180 bindings. it is a true testament to the durablitly of them.
