How do you like the chronics where you ski? What would you change about them for the better?

i have pretty old chronics, dont kno what year exactly but there the ones with the sculls at the tail there pretty nice. the guy who mounted my skis didnt center mount them so i cant spin as well also grinding is kind unbalanced.but overall they've been good to me

well neither ski you listed is recommended at center i think

you should try anthems if you ski alot of park.  ive got a pari and they're amazing in park and they work well in pow pow and other stuff.  they are centermount if that is what you really want

but if you are set on the two you listed then id go with the fujative just because they are a little better for park then the msp

I have the msp, seems like more of a all mountain carving charger ski.  Still good in the park though.  Really stiff ski from tip to tail.  I'd go with k2 if you want a softer more playful ski in the park.
