I need new skis for next season. can anyone just tell me a bit about the Chronics? i am 14 years old and exactly 5 feet tall. I want to get these in 156. If you know about any other sites with good deals on skis for my size range please tell me too?.......thanks

You could try ebay theres always good deals on there. Otherwise line makes a solid ski and the chronics are no exception really durable and if you have any problems line will usually help you out. The only other suggestion i have is your only 14 your gonna keep growing so mabey you should go with a longer size if you want them to last you more then one season.

id go the next size up if i were you man. my bro has the chronics and the only thing that he had a problem with is the topsheet peeling. just when they start to peel epoxy them so they stay in alright condition. they are a pretty stiff ski too so if thats what your looking for then go for them. also look at the invader if your looking for something cheaper and more buttery

dude its the topsheet, when it peels just peel that shit off. i have them and whenever i get a chip and it peels, i just peel it right off. you dont need to epoxy the topsheet, its not like two major parts are seperating from each other

your skis still will look better if you try and keep the top sheet in tact, and then if you look to resell mthey are worth a bit more for astetic reasons.

I have the chronics and I love them. Stiff so they hold a good carve and big booters, but still flexible enough to do some butters. Its the chronics yo! hope that helps lol
