I'm loyal to Rossis but lately every brand has gone into the hourglass shape and I'm not a big fan. It feels like it's hard to go straight. The shape skis seem to wander all over the place (like tramlining tires) and *want* to turn by themselves. While good for some, it's irritating to keep fighting the skis just to go straight. I can do my own turns, thanks.

So I'd recommend finding something w/ as little sidecut as possible, if you can. As for stability, 195 used to be right on, but now w/ new technology all the skis are getting shorter, almost taking the skill out of it. A modern 185 is probably as stable as your 195cm.

BTW, anyone (that lives near mountains) know a well-stocked retailer for Spyder pants?
