Alright so i'm 6 feet tall. I want a realitivly fat ski (90-107 mm waist). I'm an all-mountain skier and spend more time outside the park but when i do get in there i need something that will handle fine. I broke my Public Enemy's last year and my Dad is getting me whatever ski i want for my last year at home. If you have a suggestion I'd love to hear. Thanks for the help.

Check out the new Line Chronic Blend. Sick all mountain ski and definately holds its own in the park. Its new for 06-07 but we rode em for about a month here before the season closed last year. Definately an impressive ski. Responsive enough to do anything on the mountain but not so heavy that you cant throw it around in the park. Im sellin my PE's for a set of these and a set of Anthems.

^agreed. the chronic blend is a sick ski. whoever said they guns are stiff, how much do you weigh? i'm 165lbs, and felt they were way way to soft to really go all out on them on steeper stuff. they're super fun in trees and tighter spots though.

The Guns could handle anything I threw at them last year. They are the real deal at speed, in trees, and in the air. Plus, they feel sweet switch.
The Scratch BC WRS sounds like a really good ski for you, as it will do anything. Hell, Candide skied them in AK on fucking mountains.
