Ok so recently ive discovered a great deal on all 3 of these skis so price is not a factor but im trying to figure out which ski is the best for me. I ski about 70% park and like to get into the trees and pow the other 30%. When im in the park i ski rails and jumps 50-50. I need a ski thats stiff enough to not wash out on larger jumps but also poppy enough to hit urban rails in the park. Which ski would you reccommend?

i have chronics and my boy has anthems.  When we ski tress that has like a soft pack he has a little trouble turning so chronics are way better for harder snow or quicker turns.  When it comes to ralis anthems are way better.  And on jumps its i guess what you prefer chroncis are stiffer and feel a little mor stable on big airs.  Hope this helps

this

chronics are better for jumps, groomers, trees, fast speeds

anthems are better for jibs, rails, and powder (if your not considering chronic cryptonites)

Anthems are so sick. They help with landing big jumps and are great on rails.

i made a long post, but someting f'ed up, so it didnt come up.

i have chronics. you will stomp your landings. and after you learn to butter these skis, you will be able to butter any skis in the world. stiff, but its a good stiff. rides great all the time out of the park on the east coast. has a low swing weight, but on a scale, they're fairly heavy, i notice the weight riding trees, but you should be fine.

otherwise, i have heard complaints and compliments about 4frnt quality. need to do some research on that one.

Definitely the Chronics.  The other two are made for park, and that's it.
