I am 165 cms tall. I've ordered a 167 Line chronic wide. My favorite part of skiing is bm and powder, but I cant ski during the week so i bought a narrower ski. I also want super good performance i thre park and pipe. I am kind of a beginner, but after 1 and a half seasons I can ski db diamondspretty well, and I can do alright in the park. I ski at whistler. I the ski going to be too big to ski park alright? I weight between 135- 140. thanks

you should be fine with that ski, but i would more center mount it to help you out. then the ski will seem and feel a bit shorter.

Mount them recommended. I'm 177cm tall and I got 177cm Chronics. They're actually 2inches shorter than me. They'll be perfect for you.

I think you're going to be a little light to muscle those boards around. This is speaking out of the park, most skis are pretty similar in the park (in my experience, don't waste your time ripping me a new asshole on this one.)Good length for you though.
I've never skied the wide, I have the original chronics, but they're a manly ski. Assuming they're built the same way as the normal chronic, they're pretty damn stiff. I just think you're going to have a hard time flexing them.

No, They'll be perfect for all mountain because they're pretty stiff. I'll admit you're going to have trouble the first few days in the park until you get used to them. I weigh the same as you but I'm 177cm tall and 177 Chronics aren't that hard to muscle around considering I've been skiing on 155 Salomons with salomon bindings for the last 3 years. My new p10's weigh more than them.

you'll get used to them. I broke the binding on my 176 skogans and had to start riding park with 192 motherships. It took half a day to get used to them and land all my tricks with them. you'll be fine.
