You should maybe get another pair of skis. they might be a little too stiff for you. i was also looking at the chronics and i'm the same size as you, but ppl here said that it would be a little bit too stiff for me (based on the fact that i couldn't butter my ghettos that well)  


take a look at the thread

they might be stiff but if u are gunna be skiing with ur friend and maybe hittin some rails and jumps chronics might do it and plus if u got those 166 they are shorter than you so therefore you could get more flex out of them
