Chronic wides vs. PE

[Paul-o-Rama]

i was wondering which ski should get, the line Chronic Wide 177 or the Public Enemies 179. I'm 5'9" 160 lbs. I ski on the west coast. Im 40% park, 60% groomers, powder, bumps, trees, etc. i also want a ski that will last me at least this year and next year.

i'd go with the chrons, cuz ur not as much of a park skier and the edges on them last really long, the edege's on k2's don't last

bump?

iv herd the pubs are pretty good, but same with the chronics....not really shur, the chronics would probably last longer though.

bump?

179 pe's would be a little too long for you. at least in the park...

get the 174 pe's

get the chron's in a 177. they have a good flex pattern for both park and all mountain. the new pe's look sweet but if you get them make sure you tell the shop that is mounting them to mount them up from the normal mounting point because i have seen a few of them and the mounting point is way back. so be careful with the PE's or go with the chrons.

get the PE's but dont mount before +5

 

[pbandj]

no way bro, my chronics outlasted my pe's by a long shot, and i did a hell of a lot more rails with my chrons

 

[Flo_Rida_2016]

well this years PE's also have twice as thick edges... same as chronics fatty edge

 

[pbandj]

no doubt k2's inproved their edges this year, but i'd still rather supposrt a twin tip only company

179 PE's for your size for sure, less is too short for real all mountain skiing. Don't mount too centered mount on the freeride line.
