Salomon seems to have very questionable durability
and i have heard nothing but good on the chronics and they seem like a good choice for you because you like to hit jumps more

chronics, the 2012's are pretty soft. If you are more of a jumper you will want a stiffer ski. Any ski will be alright on rails.

I have heard nothing but good things about both skis.

The chronic is a stiffer ski and will kill it on large jumps aswell as ripping all over the mountain.

The 2012 has recieved great reviews from a lot of people I know that has ridden them, very poppy and playful.

However the main difference between is that one is rockered (2012) and the other is not (chronic) and that might play a major part in your decision.

p.s. the durability issue with salomons is mainly with the suspect not the 2012

Chron Cryp for sure. I have a pair and I love them.. They hold out really well on rails and kill jumps.
