Both the candide 1.0 and chronic seem to fit my style, but I'm unsure which one to get. I love to go in the park, but also like ripping around the groomers. I am also unsure what size to get im feeling 170-180 cm range. I am 6'2 155 lb. intermediate to advanced rider.

chronics are the way to go. Stiff enough for big jumps, but soft enough to be playful with butters and stuff. They are also wide enough to be an all mountain ripper also. Diffenetly the best choice.

For size I woukd defiently go with high 170s if not low 180s. For ski, you coukd go either way imo.

One thing I'm worried about with the chronics is the how easily i here they chip.

Chronic, I ski a 185 at 6'3" 175lbs if wondering. It's fun everywhere like everyone says.

How many days a year will you be in the park with them. It can depend how much they chip depending on where you use them the most. All mountain won't chip as muxh, being a park rat for 85 days a year will make them chip a bit.

Who cares about chipping? It's just cosmetic anyway. All sandwich skis chip. Just bevel it down when you need to
