don't be so sure, Line has been known to do this. The Twelve-Sixty line up from the last few years was made up almost completely of old skis (182=old darkside, 177=old skogen, 153= old "the 153") If i'm not mistaken, even last years chronic mini 143 is the way-old Mike Nick pro. Anyways, check the dimensions and sizes of the Chronic Wide, and I think you'll find them suspisciously close to last years promodel lineup, (Skogens and Pollards)
