So i weigh about 135, am 5' 10", and ski in the western washington upper oregon area (timberline, baker, white pass, crystal mountain) and am looking for a good all mountain/powder ski. Any ideas?

I think that line bacons or blends would be a good choice. Both skis are really fun and playful. If you ski more park than all mountain/pow than get the blends. If you rarely ski park than get the bacons. Overall line makes some good quality stuff, so you cant go wrong

i'll probably go with the bacons, given i already have a pair of invaders for park related activities.

Chronis is meant to be a park ski dog, OP lives in one of the most snowed upon areas in the Northern Hemisphere, I don't think that's quittte the right choice.

I have the chronic and it carves great I was just giving my personal opinion because I've heard the blend doesn't carve well but I will admit I have never skid them
