right now im riding dynastar troublemakers and im looking for new skis, i liked the troublemakers cus they could ride good in the park and on the mountain. What other skis are like that? I've been thinking about buying lines but those are more for park only

Line Blends, Chronics, or Chronic Cryptonites.

More info?

West/East coast? (or elsewhere)?
Height/Weight?
etc.?

Based on just the given info, I'd recommend the Kung Fujas or the Prophet 90, but more info would help.

the new K2 kung fujas with the rocker, Armada ARV is a good option, and now the upcoming Alphas would be good too. the Dynastar big trouble, CoreUpt TJ schiller Pro (No longer a Dynastar for 09/10), Nordica zero, salomon lord, it all depends on how big you want your ski to be.

Im around 5'5-5'6 and i weigh 115 I looked at both the Chronics and the blends and I think I liked the chronics more. I was just wondering how it holds up on rails.

Armada AR6 at -2.5 FTW, I swear that ski is the answer to everything (except powder, but Armada has that covered with the JJ). Anyways, yeah, the AR6 is dope, the base is super fast and super durable, the edge control is awesome, and it kills it on rails and off jumps, you can even butter it pretty easily. Best ski on the market IMO (I'm still kinda bummed I sold mine, but I got Antidogmas, but maybe I'll get another pair later)

yeah it all depends how fat you want them but:
Armada AR6 (amazing park, great carver)
Armada ARV (decent park great everywhere and can ski pow)
Volkl Wall (Nice and stiff for park and all mountain)
Volkl Bridge (Rips all mountain can still do well in the park)
K2 Kung Fujas (great all mountain with rocker for pow and still can lap the park)
Line Blend (nice fat waist at 100 still alright for some park)
Surface Watch Life (2010 has a 100mm waist super nice pop for park and med stiffness for all mountain and Surface is way legit)
Moment Rockers (made as a park ski but its 92 underfoot with rocker so it can do well in pow and has nice stiffness for all over plus rocker for easy butters and pow and Moment are great guys to support)

Pipecleaners dude, for sure. They slay all mountain, super light and nimble in park and super fast and carvy all mountain. Race base for going super fast, it's the AR6 on steroids. Awesome flex, stiff underfoot softer tip and stiffer tail. Best park skis ever.

I'm gonna say chronics. I'm 116lbs, and i have an awesome time out of and in the park. They are really fun on jumps, landing backwards is fun. I guess they are good on rails, i don't really ski a lot of rails nor am i very goiod at them, so i can't really say. I can say that if you want a good all mountain ski thats really fun for jumps and going 100mph down the groomers, the chronic is a good choice.

I ski in new  jersey by the way, so it's all ice.

Wow i forgot...

If by "hold up" you mean durability, they are real durable doing everything. I have the 07-08 ones, and they look better than my brothers disorderlys. From the limited amount of rails i do slide, the edges are fine, no chunks or anything missing form the base, pretty much perfect.

Anybody on here who has had chronics can probably vouch for their durability.
