I am currently 5'7" and 115 pounds and need help deciding between 167 06 Chronic Wides or last years 171 Surface Watch Lifes. I am a advanced skier and ski about 50 50 for park and all mountain. I need a ski that can do it all. Jib, that sweet northwest powder, groomers, steeps, BC. Everything except pipe i don't really care to much about. Any other skis that would be under 300 bucks that could do all of that?
 
i have been on both the surfaces are slightly stiffer and have a tighter turn radius so naturally they are a lot more funb on the hardpack and really stable in the crud! i mounted mine true center and they killed everything i would have liked em a bit further back in pow but they still worked well everywhere!
 
they are stiffer than your normal park ski! but they still have a ton of pop and can be buttered around no problem!
 
the surfaces are perfect for big tables...

i wasent able to get into a decent park on the chronics but they felt rather dead not very lively!

stifness i would say was pretty similar!
 
thanks for the help. I still haven't decided. I kind of want the chronics since i ski a lot of powder and stuff drops so i want the wider ski. But the surfaces are sick too! such a hard decision. I don't want to pick the wrong one and work all summer for them
 
also how is the warrenty for the two companys. That will be a big factor into which skis i finally choose to buy
