Replying to LINE CHRONIC REVIEW
Alright, here's a quick little review for everyone who's so super uber way real curious about therelease of nexxt year's mega-ski trendy thing, the Line Chronic.
I got Ohio's( or the entire midwest's ?) demo yesterday, and used it for the first half of my day at Holiday Valley, in New York.
I adjusted the Look rental bindings, and put the skis on. First thing I noticed (even noticed while carrying them) was their weight. they were heavy, but it may have been those monster bindings on them. and the weight was just in comparison to other Line skis, but keep in mind, Line always has like the LIGHTEST skis (ie. Mike Nicks and 1260s) and Line's all I ever ride....so it was just something I noticed.
i was skiing over to the lift, trying nose and tail butter/press things...and they were stiff. Way stiffer than my broken-in Mike Nicks. I hurt my calves a LOT trying tail butters....but, I think they can be 'broken in' possibly?
I skied with them, MUCH more stable (due to the stiffness, I presume) than other Lines. more stable in all ski conditions. I skied the bumps with them a little bit, but mind you i'm 5'6' and these are the 177's and they were fairly hard for me to maneuver.
Great skis for carving, seemed to hold a nice edge switch.
I threw some 180's and the like with them, just messing around on the 35 foot or whatever tables, and they were definitely a wider ski to land on.
All in all, definitely something I could (and would need to) get used to.
questions, class?
