Replying to Help me pick a ski
I'm trying to decide between the 178 anthem, 181 chronics and 186 blends. I'm 6'4" 225 lbs and ride the east coast so it's like 90% park 10% all mountain, with a week in Colorado.
Here's the dilemma. I like the anthems symmetry and wide waist, but it only comes in a 178, the graphics kinda blow, and they're only moderately stiff. I think the small size with a center mount would be pretty bad for all mountain and a week out west. I like the blends for their stiff flex, large 186 size, and all mountain performance, but I think since the geometry is from the prophet 90 it won't ski as well in the park, and mounting it even +2 might feel a bit strange. Lastly, the chronic has sweet graphics, an alright size at 181, a good stiff flex, and is more park oriented. I'm not sure what to get because each ski has something I really like about it, but right now I'm leaning towards the chronic. any thoughts?
