Ok I have it narrowed down to:

157 Chronic - $300 USD - Used on 4 runs, almost brand new

163 Mad-trix(not mojo, the regular one) - $317 USD - Brand new

153 or 164 1260's - $244 USD - Brand new

159 Public Enemys - $400 USD with binding(Salomon S811) or I can probably get them cheaper without bindings, Used 3 runs, Almost brand new

Ok well Im 5'2, 115-20 pounds, ride mainly all mountain and park, probably 40% groomers, 40% park and 20% trees. I like to ski fast, Im an advanced skier.

So wich would fit me best? Opinions and personal experience would be good too

Thanks

If you skied park most of the time I'd say the Chronics, but since you like trees and all mountain, I'd say get the PEs. You won't regret it.

i dont know if the chronic would be the best for going fast and for trees. i might be wrong but i think its a pretty soft skis and if you go fast with soft skis they chatter.

^^well I have 1080's right now, and they are super soft, theyre not good for going fast though, but I dont want to hop on something too stiff right away, I dont know if the madtrix would be too stiff...

Ok well Im pulling the 1260's of the list

if you're used to 1080s the Mad Trix will throw you around like nothing else. They are good skis but you got to really be aggresive with them. Again, I'm saying get the PEs.

wtf? ur 1080s arent good for speed? shit...i got las years 1080 at 181cm and i haul ass on em no prob. but i say go with the public enemies

 
You fucking left out 4FRNT. If price is an issue then go to the bastards at www.proctorjones.com and pick yur self up a pair of the mother fucking sickest skis ever created.

you have to choices: MSP:fat all around ski; STL: Skinny all around ski.

Go buy now.

On 100, how would you say the chronic performs outside the park(groomers, trees, moguls, stuff like that)

i have mt's now, and i love em, but im probably gonna get the new pe's for next year, they just seem like an all everything perfect ski

Let us have a revolution
 
im about the same %s as you, and i ride the chronics and love them. they are fine at speed, and superlightweight, and they turn fine anywhere

Rubber Ducky steeze, awwwwww!

sorry boys, there was no pro hoeing-skibrdingbtch

However, they are little bitches that haven't even heard of metal edged skis or the clitoris-twintipteles

Going from the 1080 to the Chronic, I found the chronic to be a little too stiff for my liking. But that stiffness made the ski carve very nice, and feel super strong while doing it. Carving switch is as smooth as forward. The Chronic is an awesome ski, but I guess I am just too used to the noodles.

 
well the guy who is selling the chrons sent me pics and they look super nice, so yeah, I might go with the chron

well the way I think is that a part of it is mental, like I wont buy a ski that I dont like. Not that I dont like the PE, but I like the chrons

I dont know

well someone said that from 1080's going to chronics, they will feel stiff, and the madtrix would just be too stiff and heavy

so If the chrons have almost the same demensions as the PE's, and they are stiffer, why woudnt they be good on all mountain? yes I know about the flex patern, but god, cant be that bad

pes are to god damn heavy and dont make any comments about getting stronger legs i can spin 10x easier on my 4frnts

Oh excellent,time for a sexy party!-Stewie Griffin

alright heres how it goes the mad trix dont flex as much making it better for all mount but they arn't as good as the K2s or the 1260s cause they have better flex and better cores but since your doing an equal amount of all mounting and a little tree stuff go with the mad trix
