Line Chronic vs. Mastermind Help!!

[foskettchyz]

Yo NS,
Im 16, been sking my whole life, can shred the whole mountain, recently been getting into park. Im wondering what ski to get either the Line CHronic or the Mastermind. Thinking chronic will be better for groomers and pow days.....but are they to stiff to hit bassic park rails? Thinking the masterminds would be great in the park on the bassic rails & jumps but not to sure on how the perform outside the park?
Let me know what you think

I would actually go chronics, I know a guy that rode chronics as his first park ski and his progression was phenominal. Masterminds are very soft flexing and from what I've heard their durability is questionable. Chronics are undeniably stiffer with a more snapy flex, when I rode them I felt they weren't horribly stiif I could still butter the flex felt perfect with a lot of pop, they were light and playful just how I like it. Considering they had been out all season the durability seemed good.

Hope this helps, Joey

I would for sure go with the chronic if you have the option. It is just an all around better ski. Pretty much the entire line crew rides chronics because they are really good. Skis. I really doubt you'll be disapointed with them. Masterminds are noodles they are the flexyest ski I have ever rode. I found them fun for maybe half an hour... Then they pretty much sucked, way to flexy for me.. Also the masterminds I was riding had previously delaminated in BOTH tip which makes you wonder about the durability.

Line chronic for sure they were my first twin tip and I progressed a lot and you can ski the whole mountain with them also I don't find them to be to stiff I can still hit rails fine with them.

I would get the chronics IMO but then again masterminds make a good progression ski...

 

[Stope.Neeze]

chronics for sure

There is no such thing as a ski that is too stiff to hit rails. In my opinion the chronics are a much better overall ski.

I was in this same pickle and ended up going with the Chronics. I can't wait to ride them next year.
