Line Chronic

I really hope these guys are being paid by sego but I like the Chronics. Fun skis for park. Generous camber and soft tips and tails. Really interesting feeling. Energetic but forgiving. Really like it. Not the best ever for all mountain but not bad at all. Overall, I find them very fun skis for the price. I’m a big fan.

edit: I just realized you’ve talked/asked about chronics before. Anything you have questions about particularly? Maybe that will help more

I’d be hesitant to say it has generous camber, especially when compared to the old one that was full camber.
 
It’s pretty generous camber with minimal rise. I’m gonna fight you on that one. Cant compare to full camber because only certain skis have full camber now. I had some full camber skis not too long ago and my Chronics might even have more camber underfoot

I was just concerned about their park ability because in the NS review it is said that it is not a park ski

Do you have a video of you flexing them because I have never seen them getting flexed.

I have the full cambers and they are not actually full camber, they have rockered tips and tails it’s just short, and abrupt almost no splay. the camber profile is still the same in the new models the difference is in taper giving a shorter EE and they are softer. The ski has lots of pop bc it’s all wood with substantial camber height, it’s balanced and a lot of fun all over the mountain, nose dives like a whore in the pow tho.

It’s not a park ski, it’s more all mountain park capable, none the less, it’s a great park ski, slightly softer ARV

I think thats a little bit misleading. they are more park skis than all mountain in my opinion. (i dont have a pair but i've skied them in all conditions)
 
No. They’re not with me at the moment either so I can’t send a video.

I would agree with this. I think the “all mountain park” is a way to sell skis. They are way more park than all mountain

Would you recommend it as a beginner first ski, i can 180/360 safety and mute and also a 540 from time to time, I ski east coast, I intend on skiing 8515 (park/all mountain) would this fit me because the only other ski i m also looking at is the magnus 102. Would the chronic fit me or the magnus be a better choice.

chronic is a much better (and cheaper) choice than magnus 102. Personally I have the magnus 90 and I'd reccomend them over the 102s for east coast but the chronic is a better choice than both for a beginner park ski. (dont get me wrong I love on3p but they are not beginner skis.)
 
I would say yes they are good for that. They are forgiving with the soft tips and tails but supportive. So they are a good mix to learn on that you can still progress with. Also, the price is cheaper. I think it does what they intended to do really well for the price.

Have you demoed skis before?

No
 
Sick park ski that can still ski the hill.

"All mountain" is a relative term depending on what you're mountain is like. Good all-mountain ski for say like... Revelstoke? Not at all. They're a park ski at heart that doesn't suck ass when you turn it.

I'm 6'2, 175 pounds and I can butter them, but they aren't "buttery". My favourite parts of the ski are that it's stable for landings and you can lean into the ski and trust it. Light and skinny for rails and it's hella bombproof compared to most of the fat lightweight skis I ride. That said I only ski chronics for park really, and use Bacons for when I want a more park feeling all-mountain ski.

Good park ski, if you think it's cool and you want a pair, buy em!
 
Agreed, didn’t think about it as I made that statement, I meant that it wasn’t an absolute pure park n pipe ski , I did say it was great for parkand recommend it tho, I consider the originals more pure park is all

Did you mount your chronics dead center or recommended?

I mounted them -1.5cm from center. I read on a thread here somewhere where someone from Line was saying that’s where they like to ride them. I think they’re pretty fun there

Yeah, ive been using the chronics for mostly park. I did -1.5 because the guy from Line said they were decent at some stuff outside of the park too

I love them, I've owned a few pairs and they are perfect for skiing park and the rest of the mtn without changing skis. One of the only park skis with a good amount of sidecut!
