Im 5'6"
about 135lbs, ill be putting on weight over the winter though.
Current ski: Invaders 171
I ski east coast conditions
Normally about %80-90 park and the rest all mountain/trees
(^this varys because when i go on ski trips to larger mountains im usually with friends who dont ski park so i ride alot of groomers. But when im at home the hills are tiny and shitty so im usually %100 in the park)
I used to want chronics reallly really bad. Then i started reading reviews on blue steeles and it seems everyone on ns who owns them fucking loves them. I hear theyre super poppy, fun, playful, have a low swing weight, butter easily and still charge when you need them too.
They honestly seem like the perfect ski for me. Only problem is i dont like shelling out too much $$ on equipment and right now i have a chance to get cryptos for about $120 and i dont know when i could get a deal on the steeles or if it would even be a good deal.
How do these skis compare in terms of weight, poppyness, durability and swing weight. Those are my main areas of interest. If someone can make comparisons to the invader it would be great since its something i can relate too.
Thanks !
