I know this is a "stupid" question, but I ride:

60% park
25% pipe
15% bc

Which would be better for me? 4FRNT MSP, 4FRNT SLT or Line Chronics?

Peace...

Of course I meant 4FRNT STL, not SLT.

15% bc makes me say the msp, because the msp in the pipe and park is still great, its better to have that girth in the BC and bring it to the park, rather than have a smaller underfoot for park and pipe, and go skinner in the BC....if that makes sense?

Now I'm confused. But you're saying the MSP's are the best choice?

yea, between those, go with the msp. even though you don't ride a ton of bc, you'll be happy to have the width of the msp when you do find some pow. plus, the msp is still versatile enough to do just fine in the park too.

What are the differences of the Chronics and the MSPs? Bindings as well (Line vs 4frnt)

Thanks!

Ok I know I'm being an ass but I realised it'd be good to add that I do slightly more BC than I originally said. I am also 170cm and I weigh 60kgs.

I have the 170 msp's, and I love them. Rode 165 pocket rockets before, and the msp's are definitely a stiffer ski. I've skied the 175 ARV's, and they are an awesome ski. but if you like soft skis, not sure if they'd be the best bet for you, they're a pretty stiff ski. I ski mainly BC, but the msp's are awesome in the park, and I suck at pipe so I can't really give you an accurate review on that. But all in all the msp's are a sick ski, so I'd definitely recomend them.

i would go for the 4frnt msp. they are sick in the park, fat enough for the bc, and they carve well on hardpack.

how tall are you? And msps are definitely a stiff ski, if you like soft skis get the stl. However, I dont see whats to liek abotu washed out landings.
