Hello ns my on3p blue steeles broke today and I am in the market for new skis I am 6'1 and I weigh around 170 this ski will be used mainly for park but I would like to be able to take them all over the mountain. I ride 60% jumps and the rest jibs I am looking for a stiffer ski any recommendations are much appreciated also recommend me a good size for me

Line chronics sound like a pretty good fit for you. Theyre a bit beefier underfoot and stiffer so theyll definitely be stable for jumps. They also perform pretty well on the rails. Plus they arent perfectly symetrical so theyll rock outside of the park also.

Yea maybe the 186 I had 181 blue steeles and that felt like a good size although I don't think the extra 5cm could hurt
