Been rocking the bacon for a couple years. Looking for something rockered and crud savy. This ski sounds great, question is 192 or 183? I am 6'0, 175. Leaning toward the 192, but concerned about nimbleness.

192cm !!! I have the 195cm Super S7 (5' 9" and 140lbs) and those things are no problem to ski at all. Remember, the tips and tails of both the Bent Chet and similar skis are well off the snow when you're skiing groomers so your running length is much smaller than your overall length. Super easy to turn quickly. They when you get into deeper snow the rocker keeps your skis loose enough to pivot and smear, but the bigger platforms become real stable when you point them straight down the fall line. Good times. Unless you're skiing east coast trees, go big on this and any similar styled ski.
