I'm 5'9" 160lbs... live in NH ski 60%all mtn 40% park.... looking for a ski that can do anything. What are the pros and cons of this list? Oh yeah and I want a ski that is pretty playful too that I can mess around with when I'm at college down in Pennsylvania at their tiny hills they like to pretend are mountains... so if you have any other ideas just throw them out there

i'd say the 180 double time is perfect, that or the watch lifes.

Chronic (this years 92 underfoot or last years cryptos) are in my top 3 fav skis. The doubletimes are a real fun ski too. They have a funky flex pattern and wide shovel that make for some real interesting butter/presses. Both are capable of minor pow, though I'd def say the chronics are slighty better in that dept. Honestly if your doin that much all mountain vs park....look at this years bacons. They are super sick this year. I initially wrote them off due to the new sidecut and such but hearing from friends who have them....wow....now I'm getting a set to replace my cryptos. Def somethin to consider and don't jus write em off as a freestyle pow ski. Word is they shred groomers and park. As far as the ARs go I've never ridden em but I've heard good things.

they changed the flex pattern of the double times this season to a stiffer tail and soft tip.

So it's reverse of last years? Crazy. I actually thought they only changed to graphic this year? Are they any wider underfoot? Those things would slay at like 95 underfoot.

Go for the double times for sure! That ski kills it all over the mountain and still is an awesome park ski. You could even look at the Surface watch life which is a bit wider but still slays the park.
