i haven't heard anything about that, but if so, that would be fucking sweet. it'd probably be quite similar to the 186 pollard

^Which as far as I'm concerned was a necessary ski in Line's lineup... I don't know why they'd get rid of it now.

Exactly. A longer, park-oriented ski is a great addition to any line-up. Personally, I find many park skis to be to short for me. I had a pair of the 179 05/06 PE's and they were sick, but by the time I mount them at +6 or so, they feel waaay too small.

Anyway, the point is, having a 187 Chronic Wide would be a great idea in my mind as I believe the longest skis Line will offer this year are: 186 Prophet 130 & 100, 182 Moship (I'm quite sure the Moship 192 is no longer available as the Prophet 100 replaced the Ti).

Too wide??? Not at all. I ride 179 Made'ns in the park and they are sick. The only place they aren't great is in the pipe if it's icy.

186.5....but that just involves filing the tips shorter

it's the same ski as the Pollard, it's replacing it. and the next size down will be a 177.

I love how that guy said pollards are too wide, but he rides Karmas. FYI... your skis are wider...
