I'm sold on the Chetlers, but not sure which size to go with yet. I'm 6'1 205lbs...I want to use this ski almost everyday in all conditions. I ski aggressively, but also love tree skiing and aerial spins...does the 192 ski shorter? I'm leaning that way, but just need someone to push me

The Chets are great but you may feel more comfortable on the jj or the bibby's if this is your everyday ski. The bibby is a really great ski that floats and carves well to. The Bibby's are stiffer and a little more versitle than the bentchetler. The bibby is more of a freeride ski then the chets but still pop and spin well plus they aren't as scarry on ice or skiing small bumps at super high speeds.

Alright, I gotcha that I need a 190 + ski...Now for another question...I'm looking for a one ski quiver (front rocker, camber underfoot) that will float on powder days but can still charge groomers at high speeds and remain stable. I want a ski that will hold an edge on hard pack, yet playful in soft...Is the Chetler my answer? I've heard talk of moment bibby, JJs, and icelantic keepers...thoughts?

You want the 192 for sure Matt. I ski the 183, I am 5'11'' and weigh 165 lbs. You are going to be stoked on the 192. They are light skis, making the tree skiing all good. ENJOY.
