just hoping someone that might have skied the two or has had the two might see it. i think im gonna go with the cryptonites(rode them once and loved them) but i just like the fact that i can get the ninthwards for a bit cheaper

Ninthwards are super durable ( i have had no issues with mine) and they cover rail damage. Plus i really like there customer service.

If you can get em cheaper go for it.

chronics will slay the park almost any day of the week and the fatter base will give you better stability in the tree runs you plan on hitting. It brings a lot to the table that not many other skis will give you.
