Looking for a ski that shreds errywhere.Park 60ish %, All mountain 40ish
Basically I'm looking for a park ski that handles great everywhere, and am currently thinking the Line Chronics
Any Other Suggestions+ K
 
chronics are kind of floppy in the crud, but otherwise an awesome park ski, they handle groomers real well and stomp big airs and jumps. I would have to say they are a good all-mountain ski, not great.
 
Yeah I'd say trust me on this and get the cronic cryptonites....a bit stiffer, wider, more durable (which the ladies love)....all round better ski that'll help you progress...I considered it the best ski I'd ever ridden...until I got on last years bacons and started rockin that new new school jive but yeah...if you do a majority park I'd highly recommend the crypto.
 
I rode Chronics as my main ski for a couple seasons. The only complaint I have is that they are not the best in powder. I wouldn't say they are really bad in powder, but they don't compare to fatter skis with early rise. The Chronics do really well everywhere else though, espcially on groomers. So I would get them if you don't have too many powder days.
 
^this....they are powder possible...at least the cryptos are but they aren't fun...it's a constant fight but do-able...I rode cryptos down jupiter bowl in 16" of fresh so it's def possible...jus not optimal....if you wanna do more pow and can afford it...next years bacons are a def option for a good all round freestyle ski...a jack of all trades and master of none if you will.
 
If you want more all mountain performance, get cryps. Same flex as chronics, just wider. They ski very similarly. I have both, and I love them both. Amazing pop.
 
Thanks to everyone, +K and all that good stuff
I def am looking for a ski that manages the pow fineThe last two years Ive had the Liberty LTEs, which are 83 underfoot, and managed the pow fine.
Would the chronics be just as good as the LTEs, or better?
I'm also strongly considering the Blends, but am just not sure how well they do in the park.Thoughts?
THanks a ton!
 
Chronics are 111-85-108, not exactly a good pow side cut. It's a very narrow ski, and it does terrible in pow. Get cryptonites over chronics. Blends are awesome. They are so much fun. So soft too, you can do anything on them. They are dope in the park.
 
This year's Chronic is the same as last year's Cryptonite, and the original Chronic is no longer made, so the 2012 Chronic is 121-92-117
