my profile:
age 20
height 180cm (6ft I guess for US)
180ish pounds
type 3 skier

anyone that have ridden the chronic could tell me if I should go 171 178 or 185 on the length.

I'm not the absolutely expert skier, looking to ski all around the mountain and learn new park stuff with these.

178 or 185 really depends on your preferences. Longer skis will be more stable on jumps and in high speeds, shorter ones will have lower swing weight and possibly be more playful.

178 would be the best option for you for the park.

171 is way too short for someone of your height, and won't be as stable.

185 may be a little too long for just the park, so I would go for 178. However, if it is more for all mountain, you could go for 185.

Personally I go for the 178.
