i'm 6'4" 200lbs. i ski aggressively all mountain (no pow), but i spend lots of time in the park. i like 05 line chronics but the biggest i've found them is 177. if i go with a longer ski (what would you recommend) would it make a dramatic difference in my skiing? i ski east coast

yeah way too small, try some pollard 186 or maybe next year 187 chronic wide, or possibly a 4frnt msp 187

i really like the pollards so i think i'll get those in 186, the karmas are just way to expensive.

Look into the 185 arv's, and the 187 msp's.

I'm about 6'3, 190lbs and thinking about what skis to get next year. I've skied V-Pros in a 190cm for the past three seasons which are pretty much the same as the Karmas. They are awesome skis, but not park skis - they are an all-mountain ski with a twintip - too stiff for any sort of buttering and quite hard to ollie. I'm definitely getting an all-out park pair this season and the Chronic Wide is pretty much the only decent park ski over 182cm.

I got a load of specs for the longer skis - check this out (the formatting will probably fuck up so paste it into Notepad):

Mothership Flight 182cm 127/97/117 21m
Chronic Wide 187cm 118/86/111 20.5m
Invader 177cm 110/80/103 19m
Prophet 100 186cm 133/100/124
Prophet 80 186cm 117/80/105

Made'n AK 189cm 137/108/127 27m
Seth Vicious 189cm 130/98/118 21m (179cm)
Public Enemy 179cm 118/85/109 20m
Fujative 179cm 113/85/104 23m

Scratch BC 185cm 128/91/121 21.3m
