I am looking at the 11, or 12' Salomon Sentinel. Any change in the shape or construction between 11' and 12? I am a 53 yrs 15-25 day a year skiier who puts in half days. I enjoy sking pow/packed powder, tight trees and mostly groomers when things get skiied out and firm. Is this ski going to be too stiff or aggresive for me? Coming off 177 Head Monster i75 (114/75/103 r18.4) and like that ski in terms of hardpack and turning, not so much in powder. Looking for a one quiver fat ski/ more float in Powder without giving up groomer performance. Is this the ski for me and ay 5'7 , 170 lbs do i go 170 or 177?

Sounds like the Sentinel will be ideal for you. It absolutely rips the groomers and will be much better in pow than your last skis. I would stay with the 177.
