Hey, I am looking into getting the ATOMIC BENT CHETLERS but I can't decided between the 178 and the 185? I am about 5'10'' and weight 210-220LBs. I want something that i can use in the trees and be agile and able to do nose butters and not have to much ski but still want float for when it snows.
I NEED SOME HELP PLEASE!!!!
II ski the LINE CHRONIC in a 171 right now. never skied anything over 178 and just don't know about the 185 length and there is no place to demo these on the east coast!
I just asked about the JJ 2.0 just can't decided between the 2

I would go with the 185. BentChetlers are super easy to ski. I think you might apreciate the extra stability the 185 gives you, but you would still be able to ski trees and butter around without any problems.

I'm shorter and lighter than you and I ski the 185 in the pollard opus currently. I made the jump from the 172 to 185 last year, and it took some time but i will never ski a shorter pow ski again. Go 185

I agree. And with your weight you might overpower the 178

I am 70lbs less than you and I ride the 192. I can still get over the tips for butters etc.
Granted I much prefer long skis.

I'm 5' 11" 160lb and I ride the 192s. You got like 50 lbs on me so I don't think you would have a problem on the 185s or the 192s

I think you'd be crazy to go for anything less than the 185s. I'm 5'6 and had the 183s a few seasons ago and wish I had gone longer.
