Honestly I don't think you could go wrong with either. If you local shop carries one of those pairs, I would get those and support the industry at a local level as much as you can.

heres what you will do: Go to the 4frnt ski store in slc and checkout the CRJ then go to causwell in slc and check out the one life.  Seems like the easiest thing to me.

CRJ's they are crazy light, and you could also get the CR limited editions which look sick.

I love my crj's. I'm 5'10, 190lbs and ski the bird, so not that different from you. My only complaint with them would be the tails are a little soft, but I'm told they stiffened the tails for this years model. FYI I ski the 189s. Due to the rocker they feel shorter then my 186 prophet 100s. For such wide ski they turn pretty fast, which is great for powder hunting in the tight trees (tiger tail)

I want to know why people suggest this. Just one line suggestions, with little thought.

What's your personal experience? Where's your back up. I'm not mad, I know everyone has their own opinion. But if you're going to write a sentence like this, what's your insight.

sorry i will elaborate. something about surface's flat side walls kinda sketches me out. something about the edges having perfect contact with each other, i dont know. haha. no but the only ski ive ever broke was a surface. a live life to be exact. the crjs on the other hand are a perfect all around ski with perfect rocker. And lots of camber.

Thank you. I have no problems with my One Lifes, they handle everything. The rocker does look intimidating, but it is manageable. I use mine as an all mountain quiver. Being as it's my only ski. Great in charging, turning, groomers, lovely in powder. Everything really

Shitty deal about your Surfaces. I've been in something like that. Broken a pair of Atomic Thugs.
I do suggest the CRJs, I haven't skied them, but I have suggested them to my friends. They do come in smaller sizes, compared to the Surfaces.

Haha, DAMN. You got me.

Man, I sure do go back on my word.
I say that though, because I have done research on the ski. Personal experience overcomes research though.

My apologies.
