yo man, that isn't too heavy, no worries. I weigh 190, ride 180 cm scratches and they are great. But, for more advanced skiing I would definitely go with something a little beefier. I recommend BCs or V-Pros :)

the snow is finally here!! woohoo

185 is fat??? Dude, i'm 6' 187 and I would never consider myself fat.

Anyway, my biggest ski is a 186. I would suggest something about 180-185. Head madtrix mojo would be a good ski for you...that ski is so solid. Seth Pistol, scratch's are pretty solid for bigger guys.....just stay away from atomic and salomon if you're a little bigger. But then again, i don't consider 185 big at all. I rode the Pocket rocket for a season and it's a sweet ski, even for me.
