I'm looking into new skis..First of all i live in ohio and ski primarily in the New York/ PA area. soo mostly hard pack and ice and crust. I am 5'10 or so and only like 150lbs so im lookin at something around 170 for length. Also..I'd say i spend around 50-60% of my time in the park and the rest of the time all over the "mountain". Heres what i'm lookin at so far. any suggestions are welcome.

06 chronics 172cm 110-80-103

06 pe's 174cm 118/85/109

06 scratch fs 174cm 116-84-109

lemme know what you think..
thanks

^I'm the same size as you, i live in Ohio, same amount of time in the park, but i use much longer skis. You shoul be on atleast 175's. I'm on 179's, and 184's, look into getting longer skis. You'll be happy with them after you get used to them. I think the PE's or the chronics would be the best choices, not to soft, not to stiff. Get the cheaper of the two.

get the 179 public enemys because the new sidecut pretty much owns the whole mountain. it carves well, does well in the park, whatever.
