I'm 6-1, 185. Fairly aggressive skier that prefers Powder but also likes to open it up on groomers when there's no fresh. I ski the Gotama 183 and I love it, but sometimes I feel like i could use a bit more length when I point it and get up to higher speeds. You think I should go all the way up to 191 with these? I went into my local shop and they said they don't even stock that length.

If you would like more stability while sacrificing agility the 191 would work great for your height/weight/ability level.I would add that I am almost exactly your height and weight - 5 lbs lighter - and the 184 never feels unstable. This is a more stable ski than then the Gotama - I believe it has more metal. Going to 191... you might think about just buying a GS ski instead. The resale on a 191 is another consideration - tough to sell that length.
