looking to pick up one of the two from the evo sale. night trains in 186cm or bent chetler in the 183? my only concern is that the bent chetlers are too short for charging. I am 5'11 150 lbs.

what are your opinions of these skis?

or can you suggest another pow ski 180-190cm $400 ish?

In order to select a pow ski, we need to know a little bit more about your riding style.  The only advice I can give you on those two skis is that I've heard/seen a ton of great reviews on both.  I used to own the 09 Night Trains, and they were such a sick ski. So much fun.

I almost bought that setup because it's a steel, but ran out of cash

The bent chetlers will charge like an angry bull after you just banged his cow
