I apologize for my bad english

so im looking for a new park ski and ive been eyeing the bc 100. im 5’9 and 130 or so pounds, i ski 80% in the park and 20% all mountain. I really dont ski pow since i live in finland. I just want to progress in park skiing and thought the bents would be good for that, is there any better options?

there are plenty, if you’re skiing 80-20 you would be better off with a more park orientated ski, look towards faction prodigy/candide 1.0/2.0, armada arv, k2 poacher, line tw pro, volkl revolts etc the bent chetler are pretty bland and boring from what i have heard, plus if you want to progress as much as possible, you should look more towards more “park” oriented skis rather than well rounded skis

This seems like solid advice.

If you were skiing 80% all-mountain and 20% park the BC 100 would be a better choice.

If you were planning on mounting true center you shouldn’t on the bc 100 the shape and the rocker profile are meant for a rear mount something to keep in mind

I had Chronics and revolt 95s when I lived in Finland. The revolts were really fun for skiing all around the mountain. The Chronics were really fun for the park.

I sold the revolts and still have the Chronics in Finland for when I visit. So that should help with your answer.

Not really, no. Fun skis though. But the Chronics were more fun in the park
