This is my first year doing park and I have been doing mostly blacks/steeps. What skis should i get? I have some experience with park (boxes, some rails, grabs, I did a backflip into foam pit) but not much. LIke i said, I'm just starting. I've been looking at the Line chronic's and they seem pretty good but I figured I'd ask NS before I buy anything.

I'm 6'0 and 160 lbs

+K for any helpful answers

The Chronics are actually a good choice. They are recommended to be mounted -4 which would be good for you if you are going to be doing about or maybe even less that 50% park. They are the favorite park ski of all line riders, but they rip over the entire mountain.
Another good bet would be the k2 comp ski(the one with the throwback design). i have heard good things about it
Also, I know Atomic Punx are great in the park, but I have heard they slay over the entire mountain too..

OP where are you riding? I get by on AR7 in Colorado. Depending where your riding you can go smaller underfoot.

Right now I'm riding k2 recoils because that's all i could get. I don't really like them in the park though because their swing weight is pretty high.
