So like the title says I'm curious about the dynafit chugach.
The big question I have is it true to size? Comes in a 181 but I'm not too familiar with dynafit skis. Do they tend to size true do come up short?
Right now they on sale on some websites with skins cheaper.
Wanted get some info on them if anyone has some.

Yep, rode them for a season as my dedicated touring ski.
i have them in the 181, and I'd say they ski a little short, mostly just cause they are fully rockered.
They're a lot of fun in powder, corn, and most conditions when it's soft at all.
Not a lot of fun when things are very firm. These were my first full rocker skis so it took me a bit to get used to them on hard pack, but if you've skied skis like it before you shouldn't have a problem.
Also, they're heavy for a touring ski, and I think there's skis out there with a better performance:weight ratio.
Overall, I was decently happy with them. If you're new to touring they might be a good call cause they're not super light and deal with variable conditions better than most super light touring skis but they're lighter than most alpine skis.
the 4FRNT raven might be worth a look too, and I haven't checked recently but I think they're on sale right now too

Look at some Movement Alp tracks a lot better than that heavy Dynafit crap.
