i just got these skis in 185...and comparing them in size to the 167 chronics as shown in the pic, they are pretty gnarly.

they are, in my mind, the perfect width(without snow anyways) and look super dope standing on them. they are not as stiff as everyone says they are. (hand flexing)...PERFECT. i am 6'1'' 165-170lbs (flucuates) and these skis are just as tall as me.

super dope and cool. looks like they were painted with water colours. LOVE THE GRAPHICS.
 
Wait until you ride them before judging the stiffness.

They're very stiff in the tail and shovel compared to most twins. I hope you grew a LOT or just had skis that were waaay too small before too.

Those things are going to be a real bitch to press, but they'll sure ass hell rocket you down the mountain.
 
Everybody seems to think that they're way stiffer than they really are. I was thinking of buying a pair last year but found them to be far too soft for my taste. I think they'd be a great park ski for anybody that's 150 lbs or heavier.
 
my friend's got a pair of the 177s and hes around 160 lbs. He can charge pretty hard on them but I don't think theyre really as stiff as people think.
