I'm looking toward buying some new skis.
Right now I'm torn between the Line Blends and the Line Chronics.
If you have rode both - compare?
If you have one or the other - what do you like about them?
Thanks.

Cryptonites or regular chronics? I'm assuming you mean cryptonites (92 waist).

I just bought a pair, haven't gotten or skied them yet but I am stoked for them.

I skied my friend's blends and they were insanely fun. I would have loved to get a pair but I got a great deal on my cryptonites. They are nice and flexy, so good for butters. They carve nicely and are extremely fun on rails. I didn't get a chance to hit any jumps. They were mounted center.

get the blends if you like a softer more buttery ski and get the chryptonites if you want a stiffer ski that can hit big jumps. I have the chryptonites, by far the best all mountain park ski ive ridden

yea, but in reality, they really are not super stiff like everyone makes them out to be. before i skied them, i got the impression from NS that they were 2x4's, used them and my mind was changed.

Regular chronics are not buttery at all.
