great deal on 187 chronic wides. heres the deal - i got in trouble and had to sell all my ski stuff to pay some people, and i found these for cheap. im 5'11'' 145 lbs, and idk if i could handle 187. i ski east coast, so id mount em maybe 2 back from true. too long or no?

chronic are solid skis only the invaders had problems and if they do line will hook you up good

you can go that long, just mount them dead center.

That's pushing it in my opinion, you are very light too (I'm 5'10 145) and I would probably ski that if I found a really good deal though. If you're a capable skier and know what you're doing you will be good.

yes, sick ski, no delam problems, burly ass edges, and sexy blue instead of red, -2 sounds good for all mountain-1 ski quiver type of deal, though i wouldn't go any farther back as they are kinda long for you. oh, and line measures funny, so it's more like 185ish give or take a centimeter.

Hmmmm, I dunno, I'm 6'2" 230lbs on CW 187s mounted 2cm back from true center and while I can handle them, there are times I really have to overpower them in the air. One thing is for sure, even at my weight, they're super stiff, I really have to put all my weight into it to butter them.
