The chronics are alot lighter and a bit softer than the PE's. Stiffer and lighter than the fuji's and Stiffer than the STL's.

pe's will be better all over, but the fujas and stl will be more jibtastic.

^177. 4 the orig guy: the chronic is a much more solid ski than the fujy (a nice ski). compared to the PEs, ull miss em on the pow and the rest of the hill, but the chron should feel better in the park.

if u do bumps or tight trees the chrons will make u very happy, as they are much more suited 2 that terrain than the PE

And to the big guy: PE's would actually be a good ski for you. You'll want something stiffer than the chronics.

This years chronics are so ill! especially the wides, i skied them up at Jibij Camp, the are great all around skis, stiffer than some jibtastic skis, but still work amazingly well in the park! Get the wides! they're even better!

there actually isnt that much difference when it comes to overall performance and feel between the chrons and YOUR PEs. THIS years PE might feel a little less quick and snappy than the chrons and even previous PEs, so just take that in2 consideration.

haha dude^wow...the main difference will be the weight of the skis...the newer chrons are super strong skis w/out the weight of p.e.'s ...so are the old ones(strong i mean) should hold up better to. from wat ive seen

ya my friend(montageskier) went to one of our local ski shops to get boots and he was flexing the chronics and said they flex really nice better then last years chronics which to me they sound awsome for anyone in the 130 range of weight who wants a fairly softer ski but not to soft and not to stiff.

like i said earlier, they r both a very similar all mtn ski. i rode both last year and that is y i am sayin ne thing. once again, the chrons are a little snappier(think bumps/glades) and the PE will make u happier in deeper, steeper stuff.

im sure uve already gone over this, but y the fujys and the chrons? and what happened to the Armadas? a very comparable ski.

but yea, that would be a good setup. even tho either the fujys or the chrons will tend to be used very little, since they are so similar...
