Just scored some 192's. I know Chris recommends them at the team line, -2.5, but I have a hard time believing that Sage would mount them there as well with his style of skiing. Thoughts?

Searchbarred and this was the most recent thread soo...
I got a chance to ride some 183 Bent Chetlers today and pretty much immediately decided that I want a pair for myself. My question is, at 6'1" will I be limited by riding a 183? I've never ridden anything other than my 176 AR6s, so the 183 felt good, but is it gonna be too short? I only got to ski it in about a foot or so of fresh snow and in some trees (in Michigan...fuck yeah!), and some groomers. I'll be using it for the rare Michigan "pow" day like today, and for the 2 or so trips I take out west each year. I like to ski switch a lot and want to the ski to be decently agile and playful, so will the 183 be ok, or should I try to find a 192?

It honestly depends on how good you are. Going from a 176 to a 192 will be a big leap so if you think you are good enought to handle it you will definately be pleased with a bigger size. if not the 192 will be a pain in the ass for you to turn and probably not alot of fun. At 6"1' you should probably be on a 192. Especially if you are going to use them out west, you're gonna have alot more control and stability not mention float on 192.

Does Sage ski the 192cm or 183cm?
Does anyone know where he mounts them?
Cheers
