Thanks Man but I'm leaning towards more of a park ski. Anyone else have any other input

How did you like the 2012? How was the width, rocker profile, pop ect. Do you want somthing similar? Gives us some more info as so far we have nothing to go on.

Can you be a bit more specific in what you're looking for in a ski? Width? Rocker? Flex? Otherwise you're just going to get a bunch of random ski suggestions.

I have decided I'm going to get the line chronics but i don't know if i should go for the 171 or the 178. I will be center mounting them either way so which size should i go for.

178 for sure. They're gonna ski a bit shorter than actual length, especially if you centre mount them. 172 will be way too short. I'm 5'10", and I find 178 to be short for me.
