It depends on the rocker, camber, what you're using them for, and overall preference. It also helps if you know what forum to put this in. Just sayin.

Benchetlers in 178 are going to be way to short at your weight/height assuming your a pretty solid skier.
I'm not 100% sure of the size but I would go with the 186 or whatever the size right around that is. I know they also have a 192 which might be a bit to big. But if you are a SOLID skier and charge that could be a good length

182 isnt too big for trees. Im slightly smaller than you and ski 185 blogs in trees all the time.
We need to know more about your ability though and what theyll be used for. But youll definitely wanna get the 185 or 192

200 pounds is big, I'd go 186+ on skis

Hey OP, I'm about the same height and weight as you (6'2 205lbs) and for park I rock 186cm ON3P Kartel 98s and for pow/all mountain shredding I rock 191cm ON3P Jeffrey 114s. As noted before, it all depends on the skis (camber/rocker/stiffness ect) that you end up riding to determine length. However, I would suggest to not go any lower on 185 for pow skis like the Bentchetlers.
All times are Eastern (-5)
