im 6ft tall, 185lbs, agressive skier. Will be skiing Whistler all winter. Im planning on grabbing 184 chetlers (120mm), is this too short for me? I was previously skiing on 186 volkl twos.

I would consider the 192 if I were you, the newer bent is pretty light, even the 192 will be significantly lighter than your 186 twos. Also if your 6 ft tall and ski aggressively then you will probably not find enough support out of the 184, it measures to about 182 cm straight tape pull.

i second this. size up.

it takes a bit of getting used to, but the stability at high speeds is worth it.

At your height and weight, no question about it, go 192. The Two is a pretty beefy ski, so with the lighter layup of the Bent, it'll probably feel pretty similar in terms of swing weight and maneuverability.
