I'm looking to get the Line Chronics, can't decide between the Chronic Blends 90mm or the 80mm Chronics. I Ski the east coast w/ a lot of ice. I'm into hittin big jumps, just gettin into rails. Besides the park I like to hit up those little site trails and stupid shit of the sort. Usually I'll travel to someplace that has powder but nothing over 4 feet. What length do you recommend also?

I'm about 5'11" and 150-160lbs depending if I just took a shit ;).
I'm a pretty aggressive skiier too.

If you think there is another ski I should check out plz let me know I am very open to suggestions.

i would get the 177 for sure in length, but it depends do you like a fat ski or a skinnier ski, either would work but i would go with the blend.

Its some major personal preference, I like a bit of a skinnier park ski ushually in the 80's but i also have the budget to have a seperate pow ski.

Also i ask you, where have you skied 4 foot powder, i have only ever skied something that deep twice, and I live in the west

Thanks I was leaning towards the 80 I just wasn't sure what was gonna be better for the park. Like I said above I don't really ski powpow it's mainly all packed snow.

actually right after I posted that I decided to go w/ the Chronics (80mm). Thanks a lot for the help.

Now all I need is some info on bindings. I have no clue where to start.
