Step ups vs. chronics

[MitchH]

which ski has a stiffer flex or are they about the same? I heard that the step ups get softer as you ski them...how much?

 

[K.C.dia]

Both skis tend to lose camber and stiffness as you ride them, just like any other ski really. The stepups seem to do it just a bit faster than chrons though. Plus step ups are heavier and tend to delam easier. I'd say go chrons but that's just my $0.02

I love my chronics, super fun ski, Eastcoast quiver of one.

 

[SkiYaker2]

go chronic cryptonite

 

[Legoman]

183 Chronic Krypto - 2150g per ski

184 Step-up - 2015g per ski

So step ups are about 6% lighter

 

[SkiYaker2]

very true but the chronic crips have a better swing weight which is what really matters

 

[MarcusSmith]

chronic kryptonites.

 

[JeremyH]

get on that chronic son. just got mine and they're so ill

 

[DrZoidberg]

Chronics, they're a lot of fun. Supposedly they have the same flex thought right? ANd besides actualy weight, how heavy it feels has to do with it's pop and swingweight characteristics. A heavy ski can feel light if it has a ton of pop.
