Has anyone ridden these skis before? Anyone know how they would handle in the park? I'm looking for a one ski quiver park to pow. 6'0'' 180lbs 20 years old, mainly east coast but about 2 weeks in colo each year.  It's impossible to find anything about these skis on line

Thanks,
Jake

there are plenty of reviews on here..

I had them... and they are sick. Stiff, responsive, stable, poppy. I would recommend mounting them forward a bit though. for all mtn/park/powder probably around +4 or so. Oh, and get the 186's.

Yea I know they have the vid up on the site, it just doesn't show anyone hitting rails on them, anyone know how they would handle that?

Thanks

I've got the 06/07 Blends and they kill it everywhere. If you're worried about park, I switched to them from the regular, skinnier chronic and I'd never go back. They stomp the chronic on every terrain and they kill it in the park. For your size, you probably want the biggest ones out there, and do make sure to mount them forward, unless they changed it they recommended mount is REALLY far back.
