I'm in the market for a new park ski. I used to ski 177 4frnt stls and liked them, however they are beat and I need some new skis. I am 5' 11'' 155 pounds. Other than skiing park on these skis I'll rip some bumps and groomers, which makes me think camber would be a good idea. I guss you could consider me a medium size park feature skier, I don't have any experience on breck freeway type stuff. Looking for a ski in the 177-182 range. I have considered Volkl walls, Line chronics, armada ar7, fisher addicts, and dynastar sixth sense spins. Any advice?

I would say the chronic cryptos or AR7s. The only reason I say that is because cryptos are a bid wider underfoot and a tad stiffer so they could shred a bit more gnarly stuff but still be solid in the park obviously. AR7s are just a dope ski with solid durability and good customer service. It would more than get the job done. I'm blasted.

Not sure about now but about 3 years ago i had a pair of addicts and they were ok in bumps and glades but they were pretty poor quality and not that great in the park. But that's 3 years ago and Im not sure how different they are now.

heard lots of good things about the walls (like being bombproof)

chronics are b east, good for everything, and they're very responsive, the extra width is great for landings. they're very stiff underfoot but still buttery. i love mine
All times are Eastern (-5)
