Haven't decided yet, i'm pretty intimidated by the size of the skis at the moment... may wait and try to sell them and get something in the 180ish range.
I'm 6'1", 185 lbs., the skis are 190s. I'm not the most aggressive powder skier (in fact, I'm downright bad at it) so I'm wondering if this could be too much ski for me.

D-ski: I wouldn't worry about the tips at all. Probably a very slim chance for anything happening, and if it does delam a bit, $5 in epoxy will take care of it.
A core shot is probably defined as going all the way to the wood core... but that one is damn close. An entire chunk of the base has been taken right off. Like I said, an easy fix, but definitely something that should have been disclosed if there are no pictures.

Reassuring to know -- now I'll just get back to fondling and flexing my new boards!!
oh wait I have one more (you are a patient man KD, know that it is appreciated) -- stonegrinding-- how much help is it on a non-racing ski? The shop here only has a machine that goes to 120 which will only cover the middle third of this ski unless they have some kind of trick obviously they will edge tune the whole thing but ...

The Heli's have a mediumish flex, shouldn't be a problem for you unless you are in tight trees or moguls. Then you would probably want something shorter than 180 anyhow.
