6'4", 240 intermediate. Used to skiing CO but moved to OR. Getting used to Cascade snow with occasional visits back to CO and UT. Been skiing old 177 Rossi B1s and finally stepped up for some new sticks. Got hurt and can't demo this spring, but bought the Gotama in 183 and 190 on recommendations from friends here and in UT. Like the trees, bowls and the occasional groomer. Trying to improve but don't want to bite off more ski than I can chew. Any thoughts on which size?

As an intermediate skier I think that the 183 is a good ski for you. It will help you improve lots, is already longer than your old pair, and still has tons of float.
