I can tell you that you probably don’t want Wets. They’re made for a very niche part of skiing, and they’re not very stable and suffer on jumps, especially when learning tricks.

For the most part you choose skis for tele the same way you choose them for alpine so anything helps

Chronics aren’t bad if you can find a good price. I’ve been noticing the price staying relatively stable lately so def wait for price to drop.
What lengths are you looking at?
