Hi guys! This winter i'm moving to colorado (normally i live in europe) and i want to buy some good skis, i was thinking of the line chronic (2014). I'm good at skiing and i would like to start to do some park and occasionally ski some powder but still ski on the pists mostly, do you think that these skis are a good option?
I'm 65 Kg (144 pounds) and i'm 168 cm (5,5 feet) tall, what ski height and what bindings would you suggest me? Thanks a lot for your help! Have a good summer!

178 may seem a bit too long since your shorter then 171. i would recommend nothing higher than 171 but hey i not the company making $$$$

Im about the same size and I got the 2014 Chronics 164 lightly used at the beginning of last year for $150. For that price they were an amazing ski. I had a ton of fun on them, they were pretty buttery, and really playful. I didn't get to use them much in any pow cause we had a bad snow year but the little amount we had they handled alright. I did get to ski a ton of park though and they were great. The only problem I had with them was that they werent all that durable. Mine had a ton of edge cracks by the end of the season and I ended up tearing out 8 inches of edge on one of my last days. I loved the skis and I plan on using them this summer as a rock ski.

If you can find the ski for a decent price you should buy them. If I were you I'd get the 171's or maybe the 176's if you like your skis longer.

Oops they come in 178 not 176. Definitely go 171, 178 is pretty long.

I got a buddy with them. He really likes them, the only issue hes had is the sidewall. They have warrenty though so I wouldn't worry about that. He sent his back for a new pair.

great all mt/park ski. I skied them at Jay Peak and they floated nicely in a few inches of pow (I would recommend something wider in more than 6 inches of pow) also solid in the park too! They also slay groomers as long as it isn't too icey.
