hey, im new to the forum and i just wanted to know if i made a mistake. my friends have purchased me a pair of chornic wides at 157 cm for my birthday and i dont wana make em feel like shit so ima ski em this season. im about 100 pounds and 162 cm tall. yea, im a small guy and these skis seem pretty big thought they're light. i ski mostly park 50% and the rest on groomers and off piste. im a decent skiier and i work out three times a week so hopefully by ski season it might be a bit better thanks.

They'll be a perfect ski for you. Chronics are very light and medium flex.
