5' 9" 145ish aggressive skier all around the mountain, enjoy the trees, wont be taking these in the park. I am looking at either the 181 or 186 jeffrey and right now i have 176 Moment Jibs (they seem too big) 183 bentchetty's (about perfect) and 185 jj's (ski a little small)what do you guys think i should go for?

If you like the size of the chets then a 181 should work out well for you. On3p will come up longer then other skis so I would expect the 181 to still be slightly bigger then your 183 chets.

do ON3P's run long? you dont think the rocker would make it ski shorter than the bent chet at 181?

Yes they run longer then most skis. I have some 186 Jmo's and they are the same or bigger then most 190's. The chet has a fair bit of rocker too so I would say the 181 will run as long if not slightly longer then the chets.
