I don't have them, but where are you going to mount them? I had public enemies a while back and those even floated in powder, at least for me they did and I had them mounted back towards recommended. Seeing that the cryptonite is a fairly wide ski compared to the public enemy, it should do fine for the occasional powder day.

Okay thanks for that, yeah they are 92 under foot so they should float. I am going to mount them at the midsole line about -2 back from center, im so excited to get into them

You´ll probably be just fine, as long as you accept they´re not powder skis. Last season I skied mostly powder with my center mounted Invaders which are 81mm wide, and I weigh 180 lbs. I like the challenge it gives ;)

People have been skiing powder on skis less than 70 under foot. You'll be fine

Okay, thanks guys, i basically bought the chronic cryptonite because i want to be able to go everywhere on the mountain and not get into a situation where i find some sick stashes of pow and cant ride them cause my skis aren't suitable. :)
