Im 6'2'' 175 lbs, i ski mostly park and i was wondering this because i dont want something just for park...I like dicking around with friends and going down different runs...I was originally going 2 get 177s but they ran out so i was wondering if 187s would be ok for like 85% park and the rest just kind of messing around for when i go out to utah

dont fret it brah 187's sound perfect for you, theres almost no such thing as too big of a ski. If you went up a lot from you're last size it wont even matter, you'll get the hang of the extra length in a couple runs

you should be fine. I'm 5'11 and 165 lbs. and ski the 185 scratch bc's. You'll probably enjoy a little bit more of nose when you are out of the park.

I'm 6' and 160 lbs and ride 189 Seth Pistols as my AT setup, so you should be perfectly fine on those skis.  If you can't handle them, then that's kind of sad.

no 187 shouldn't be too big for you, i'm 6'1" and i have 186 pollards which are almost similiar to the cronic wides i think, if you center mount them they should be good for you.
