The new line chronic is a good park/all mtn ski, and it's got a decent sized waist for your trips.

stl man.just got mine yesterday and they look sick. pretty much symettrical they are much stiffer underfoot and tail then in the tip. nice for butters but stable for those big kickers. but the best thing about them is that my 167's are lighter then my 157 chronic wides. really amazing ski and cant wait to ride them

dont know where u heard that but the construction is the same as last years wchich means HYPERcore as usual. its pretty much stiffer woods in the tail and underfoot and lighter woods in the tip for reduced swing weight and clean butters.

the TNK super durable and great park ski
STL a little more all-mountain
And YES 4FRNT!

no it isnt. unless ur quite big, they are siffer skis to most people. they flex is similar to the msp's but with a bit of a softer nose and more pop

i have 07 STLs and 07 TNKs, and the flex on both are nearly identical, which means both are bad ass for park, in my opinion.  Both are also very light.  As long as neither have changed construction between the years (my understanding they havent), you're good either way.

get MSP's so when you take those trips out west and do some real skiing you won't be on a pair of twigs.

well from what people have told me was that getting 4frnt was a disaster, because they kept snapping withen the first month of skiing. it happened to only one of my friends skis im wondering if anyone else agrees on this. if so, have they changed it this year?

^ wow, you know someone who broke a ski.  any and every ski breaks at some point.  4frnt warranty is pretty decent.
