So Im going with one of these brands, like them all very much. But i dont know which to get. Out of all their skis, which is recommended? Money isnt really an issue for me but i dont wanna go overboard. Im 5'6, 135. ski 33% park, 33% all mountain, 33% pow.Thanks
 
As a Line fanatic, I suggest the Chronic or the Blend. Get the Chronic if you're more focused towards all-mountain/park and the Blend if you're more into all-mountain/pow. Both will be fine for all three though. The Blend will be bigger underfoot and vice-versa for the Chronic. At your height and weight, I'd suggest around 170ish in height.

Im on the Chronics right now and i like them. The top sheet is getting kind of worn out but that's inevitable. But Ive looked at the Blends as well and they seem pretty good.
 
I have a great pair of Armada ARV 175's mounted with Salomon titaniums that I'll sell you b/c I'm doing only freeride and BC stuff now... if you want more info please feel free to send me a PM
 
So you're generally looking for an all mountain ski from one of those companies?

I'd say Line Blend. 100 underfoot, so not too fat for park, but not too skinny for pow. Plus the rocker adds extra for jibbing and float.
 
The most soft skis ever, just warning you.

Why not support a small company and get the On3p jeronimos, just what you need.
 
If it were me I would look at either the 4FRNT MSP or the Turbo. The Turbo has the early rise in the tip and tail and camber underfoot that makes it a total all mountain ripper. I have used a pair in the park and love em, and they're big enough underfoot to rip pow all day erryday
 
The line blend is a great ski for those three categories. I rode them for three years and only got rid of them because they were to small for me. I switched to the armada alpha 1
 
Armada ARV, Gave my dad a pair and he skis everything and he never complains, actual he always talks about how much he loves them. You can hit park no prob, all mountain is what there about, but they float nicley in the pow.
 
Go chronics or if your not scared of a little width, the new bacons are absolute shredders for everything you want. Somethin to consider.
