Hey Guys,
I'm 5'6 and like 140 pounds just wondering what you guys think of the CRJ's I'd be spending 80/20 pow vs groomers and was wondering how these puppies handle on the groomers. I'm an aggressive skier, also what size would work best for me.. the 172 or 180 ?

Thanks

It's his first post give him a break. CRJ's have pretty big rocker so 180 would probably be managible.

Haha yeah sorry
I knew once I put it in the wrong section I'd get some beef for it.
Any other thoughts on how they are on groomers ?
I gotta say its one sexy looking ski, I love the bases !

i looove mine, im 6ft 180 and have the 188, I can throw them around so easy in the trees, can smear any turn easy. You can point it down any chute and they handle speed like a dream. When you get down into tracked cruddy conditions they are stiff enough to just charge right through it without any worries, they feel alot like the bibby pro in these conditions. The tails are deffanatly stiff enough to drop some good sized cliffs without worry. My favorite thing about them is that i can pin them through steep gnar chutes then throw them on edge or smear out a turn and scrub speed and straight into thick trees where they still like to surf around. I would 100% recomend them to anyone looking into a powder ski

I bought a pair on impulse at the end of the 2010 season and I absolutely love them to death. I can second that they are a bit iffy on ice but the performance everywhere else especially the feeling in pow makes up for it. I don't regret buying them one bit and I'd recommend then any day.
