Bent-chetlers too big for me?

[sk00t3r]

I'm 5' 11", around 140-145lbs, and ski aggressively. Would the 183 bent-chetlers be to big for me?

im 5'8 and 120 pounds and im getting them

If anything, they'd be too small

I'm 6 ft and I own 191 and 192cm skis...183 would be way too short

Lengthwise they're decent for you. I own a pair and I'm about 6'2" 165. At your weight it's gonna seem stiff compared to other similar skis but as long as you're not looking for a super buttery, playful ski it will work just fine. My brother is just about your height and weight and Today he buttered around in them and commented on how much stiffer they are than his bacons. I personally really like mine and would recommend them.

Bigger is ALWAYS better.
Yup, she lied to you boys.

no not at all. I ski 189 hellbents for pow and im only 5'9". Rockers seem small when you ski them. And a longer ski lets you hall ass and stomp the shit out of every cliff.

Short powder skis suck.

You'll be fine.
