I am 5.8 and still growing. I ski the east coast so no bc. I can do reasonable gaps but im not incredible. I can do fives and gap forty or fifty feet. I have been lookin at the new chronics or twelves in 177cm. I also like the Steele Spence Pros(also 177cm). What do you think?

well there are all types of skis out there man that are perfect for your skier type. The questions remain: do you want stiff or soft? a bit side cut or not so much? a ski that is really durable or are you buying a new pair next year?

Skis that would be recommended: Rossi scratch (very soft but surprisingly stable, very park oriented), public enemy (pretty stiff, good pop, good all around), troublemaker (very similar to PE, but perhaps if you do rails a ton not the best), the STL which I know nothing about but you mentioned, ar5 (pretty stiff, sweet pop). I personally have ar5s and think they are off the cob. good luck

'donna simma?'
'yes, that's right. now how would that appear in a phone book?'
'simma, donna?'
'that's right now Simma down na!

i have troublemakers but after almost a full season on them (nov-till now) i have cracked 1 edge in 2 places. So if your hitting rails, but the chronics, cause they have super reinforced edges and stuff, and they shgould last longer. 177 chronic should do you well.
