Punx and Thalls are comparatively softer than Chronics. I'm about the same height and weight as you and I rode Chronics a few weeks back and they were so fun, they felt so light and poppy the flex was snappy but I enjoyed (not that stiff I could still butter them). Thalls and punx will feel more jibby where they are softer, I am also looking for skis over the summer and I'm deciding between punx and thalls, both skis will be great but whilst the thall durability is top notch, I've heard about some issues with the punx's durability.

Length wise I would go 182 Punx, 176 Thall, 178Chronic

I got the 182 Punx they are nice light and jibby perfect for hitting rails. They are still strong enough to hold up on jumps and do perfectly fine. Overall they are a quality park ski and I recommend them.

As for the durability I have had no problems with them but my friend has had to replace his. However, I will add he is on his 3rd pair of park skis this year.

I would go the punx! they are such a playful and fun ski which can kill all around the mountain. the thalls are even softer which may be too soft for you so I would go the punx! hope this helps

T Halls! They are durable, nice and buttery, but are still extremely stable off jumps. Not to mention they are super super light.

Man they are all good skis, but I would go the chronics. They are extremely playful and have some good pop. However, you shouldn't worry too much because you can't go wrong with any ski in that list

I bought the thalls this year and don't wanna go back to any other ski, they are by far the best ski I have every owned! Super playful and buttery but will perform great on big kickers also.
