I am looking for a new powder ski to use in those 5 + inch days. I am 5'10 180lbs expert skier and I ski mainly Vail and Beaver Creek as well as the backcountry in those surrounding areas. My everyday ski that I work in is last years 179 obsethed and I love it. I am trying to decide between the Bent Chets in the 193 and the 189 obsethed. I really only care about how they handle on the really deep days and not so much about their all mountain performance. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Even though the obsethed is smaller i think it may be a better powder performer since it has more rocker. Both are great skis neither would disappoint in the deep days. If you are using them for back county to i think the obsethed would be better as it can probably handle hard pack better and ski tees better since it is shorter.
