I need some new skis and have narrowed it down to these. I am curently riding some 05 chronics which are 143(WAY TO SMALL!)

i ski 90% park(at least), 10% all-mountain(at most). Im 110lbs. 5'1"(still growing) and am a intermediate skier. and i ski in quebec, so icy/hard conditions if that helps.



sorry if i did this wrong, i am new here and the friend who recommened me to this site also recommened i put that info, i hope i didnt forget anything.

butterliciouls sure as hell arent soft. none of the 9s are. idk why they are called that. at your little size they will feel way stiff.

invaders if you want softer, ghettos if you want a medium-stiff flex, or stay with chronics if you want stiffness. now you make the decision.

yeah at 110 pounds the butter would be stiff for you
probably the invader is your best bet if you want buttery, get it in 161

I skied ghettos last year in the same conditions and didn't like them that much ... Eventually I snapped them and now I'm ridding Rossi Scratch screams and I love them.. I'm 5'8 about 130 and I ski em in a 176... I'd recommend them for your kind of conditions and they are a little softer then the ghetto's but not nearly as soft as vaders which is good if you want to be able to hold an edge sometimes in the ice. I'd recommend the scratch screams in a 160.

I ride ghettos ski in new england. I love them. I like a medium flex ski even though i spend 95% of my time in the park and most of that on jibs.  the ghettos are alot lighter, have better pop and are more stable than invaders.  Both skis have softer tips than under foot so they're both decent for butters.  Naturally invaders ride better switch and are softer.  However i didn't feel comfortable taking them off 60+ jumps.  Never ridin butters so I can't help you there
