Depends on what you want to use it for. We need your height, weight, what you ski, skier type, etc. before anyone can help.

The chronic is a real good all round park ski....the new one has the same dimensions as the crypto and can handle just about anything you can thow at it shy of deep pow.

No I get why he's asking....the line site descriptions could be a touch confusing for someone who doesn't know the skis....OP: the stepup is basically a beefier version of the afterbangs.....in a nutshell it's designed for going bigger and isn't as noodely as the a-bangs....the chronic is more of a traditional constructed ski....like it's not a "skate deck" design.....the chronic is still a park ski but it can handle alot more of the all mountain stuff and IMO holds a way better edge.....if your a super tech jibby type thats goin bigger than most then go stepup....if you want a ski that can handle the really big booters and then also go ski the whole mountain go chronic......

Yeah sorry guys, so im 5 11 weightin 180 pounds. Im more a jibber than anything else since im livin in quebec. I like to hit booter when theres some. I used to ride suspect and liked them a lot but fuck thos sticks are so cheap ( by cheap i mean easy to broke, I used them 1 season in whistler and like half of the edges fell off). Im actually looking for a pair of skis that im not gonna pay 1000$ but thats gonna be as fun as my suspect.

Thx guys

If you want somethin that's gonna hold up go chronics over the stepup....like I said the stepup is just a beefier version of the afterbang....it's a good ski and probably perfect for what ya want but the chronic will def hold up alot better....the chronic weighs a touch more and is wider but IMO it's a damn good all round park ski....I beat the heck outta mine for a few seasons and they're still in great condition.....they're the same price as the stepup so I'd go with the chronic.

I know both of these skis are stiff, but are they like rock solid stiff or you can still do butter and shit on them ??

At your weight you'll have no problem buttering the chronic....but the stepup will be easier as it's just a stiffer a-banger....but the a-bang and the stepup are basically disposable skis....hardcore park rats are lucky to get through a season on a pair...the chronic holds up alot better and is def more of a big boy ski....I don't mean that in a derogatory way.....just that the chronic is for going big and fast if that makes sense?
