How sweet are the 08 line chronics? And what bindings would you suggest to go on em? I'm 6'3" 215 and ski 75% all mtn 25% park.

Well if you are 75% all mountain and are a pretty big guy I would say you would have more fun on a bigger ski or at least a stiffer one.  Maybe something by Vokl like the Karma?

Chronics are pretty stiff for a park ski

They are sweet. BUt I'd recommend going with a 186 chronic blend.. and some 4frnt 614's. especially if you just dabble in park like 25% of the time.

yep, I'm almost the same as you at 6'4" 225 and about 50% park 50% all mountain and I got a pair of 186 blends.  I haven't had a chance to ride them yet but I definitely think they'd suit you well.

^word. I am 6'3 190. I was on 179 blends last year mounted +6 and they killed it. Absolutely. They're light, fast, and poppy as hell. I would have kept them if they had made a 186 last year.

Ok, so lets see if I'm getting this right. The blends are more of an all mountain, bigger guy ski? And the chronics lean more toward park and a smaller guy (well, smaller than me lol)?  I could ski with either, I would just be happier with the blends? Cause I'm not set on anything yet. And I'm totally willing to learn before I drop $450 on skis.

Wow, thanks, now I feel like a giant lol! j/k. So there pretty much the same ski, the blend is a lil wider and longer? Cause if there both pretty close, I think I like the chronics more than the blends.

Well, if you're not set on LINE.. there are many other options. 182 Scott Punishers are sick. You could go with a 181 4Frnt MSP. Or even a 183 Surface Watchlife. All pretty good options.

But hey 186 blends or 181 chronics would be sick too. Its up to you. they're all good skis that will do fine everywhere.
