I'm 6'2, 185 at an intermediate/advanced level and am coming from a pair of short (176) skinny skis. Looking at the 185 JJ or AK JJ. I'm concerned that the 195 might be too big a jump for me. I'm a strong, athletic type, ski Whistler, Baker, etc. and some short tours. I plan on getting out 30-40 days this year so expect my skills to continue to improve. Any advice would be much appreciated.

the 195cm JJ was designed for people like you, I believe. You can turn those things no problem! you won't regret it.

Go for the longer ski! You wont look back! Especially for bigger taller guys like you and I that like to charge hard. Lots of stability and support that wont give out on you when you push it to its limits.
