it depends how long you want you skis to survive! if you want them to last the whole year get the chronics

foils for sure. i skied the hell out of mine and they are in perfect shape. two of my friends skied them at least as hard as i did all season, and theirs held up very well also. i don't know why people hate on salomons, they've always treated me very well.

foils are sick but i mine are pretty much broken. make sure when you buy them you get them riveted, otherwise the tip will separate from the base

yeah chronics are light. foils are pretty stiff though. they definately arent soft, but maybe a little softer than chronics. my vote goes to the chrons

^foils stiff? thats hilarious...ne ways...get the chronic wides, they are amazing in powder, and really good in the park, they are a bit stiff, but you cant beat them because the edges are nearly impossable to break, and the bases hardly even scratch...much more durable than any salomon i've skied

hard choice I will admit the edges on the foils (including next years) are fucking thin I cracked the edge on my foils once every 2 inchs

Get chronics, They're a bit stiffer and way more stable. Plus they're bombproof.
