Which 2010 but preferably 2011 ski should I choose. I want a rather wide symmetrical park ski that I can use in the powder as well. Thank you

the chronic is also made as the "chronic cryptonite" i think its like a 110 base or something and instead of the regular 85. my regular chronics are pretty good in everything but try getting a review on the cryptonites they might work

Moment Reno Rockers are all that come to mind, why so set on symmetrical though?

ever heard of the volkl chopstick? its symetrical with tons of rocker

and to the OP get blends they will be better in the pow than lizzies and good in park as well. you may want to look into the griffon schizo system as well otherwise just mount em at 2 or 3 back

 They're so heavy though they would suck in the park. 

Go with the reno rockers or lizzies. I'd definately go for the lizzies

if you cant get the lizzeys ..get blends and symetrical pow ski isnt the best idea so if your goin to be skiing a good amount of pow just mount them a little back..but if your skiing a little more park the line chronic cryptonites are a possiblity there pretty versitial

blends are much better in pow than lizzies and they are lighter which cant hurt in the park

No hardly ski any pow mostly park cuz im from the midwest. Just want to have em for when i go out west but i would like a fatter symmetrical park ski. Symmetrical because the binding people in my area always put the bindings back of center no matter how many times you tell them dead center, unless you have symmetrical skis of course

i'd go anthems then. 94 underfoot, symmetrical, and they will get you through the pow.

Check out the Nordica Zero. If I remember correctly the are 110 under foot and symmetrical.

Also look at next years surface double time, it's basically the watch life with a softer flex. Not symmetrical though.

Yea i guess i am rethinking the symmetrical i guess just a decently wide (95-105ish) park ski would be good. Any ideas? It would be nice if they were close to symmetrical. I like the blends but they are so much different between tip and tail width (10cm) has anyone ridden these and can u tell a big difference between riding switch and regular?
