i thought they werent gunna be that heavy, but i just realized they are as heavy if not heavier than my PEs with 810s on them.   the chronics are the 06-07 ones with the rossi p12s on them

Also, the Salomon S810's are concidorably lighter than the Look P12's.

PE's are a very heavy ski. With the added 8cm of length, and width of your Chronics, and the factor of you P12's, it sounds right.

Chronics are super light skis. I don't know why all you kids are complaining about how heavy your skis are. Unless riding Spatulas with metal topsheets mounted with dukes and trying to do 450s onto urbans you shouldn't be complaining.

heavier than a lot of skis, but I think that's what makes them so popular with some people. They're super stable, and mine have taken a ton of abuse. They're the 04/05 ones I think (gold) and still look pretty damn good. Great for harsh landings.
