Im looking for an all round ski that can do pretty much everything. Ive herd that the line cronic wide is a really versatile ski and i have also herd this about the 1080 foil. Im 5'11 and 135-140 pounds, not exactly a bulky guy... so i like the idea of having a ski a bit on the lighter side. the sizes i am considering are for the crhonic 177 and for the foil 182. i am planning to get into the park but have pretty much no experiance in it. but i will ski a lot of allmountain and a bit on the groomers.. What do you guys think?

I love Lines but I have to say at your weight the Foils would be a better ski. Besides the chronic wide is just the old skogan which was a 2x4 disguised as a park ski. The Salomon is lighter softer and has more sidecut so it will spin turn and butter better.

i have mike nicks which are basically the same as chronic wides. they are heavy! and stiff. but they are basically impervious to damage

if you want to have more fun in the park get the foils. if you want a ski that lasts forever get the chronics

Would the 1080 foil in 182 be the right size for me its about the same height as me.

get the 2007 foil, graphics are sick. i still havent decided what im getting for next years skis. but u might wana do wat i did. if u wana learn park, dedicate some days to just park, ull get it down. and if u have the money this is wat i did.. bought 2006 fujatives for the park, they were only a little less than 200 bucks. its really worth it if u wana get a park specific ski and then u can get a twin that is burly and rides everywhere. but if ur looking for a ski that can rip both i think the chron is prolly the best idea cuz the stiff flex helps around the mtn.

my dad got the foils and he loves them. hes about your height but a bit heavier. he likes an all-around ski. he hasn't taken them in the park but i think they'd be pretty good. he got a 160 which i think is too short. i dont know much about the line's but i'd say that the foils would be better on groomers and park.
