the amplid rockwell is an awesome all mountain ski. the shape is similar to that of the armada alpha/halo (5 dimensional shape). It is kinda amplids take on the all mountain use of the dimensions. The rocker in the ski will make it have a shorter turn radius helping float and make turns through trees and whatever. They are at 96 mm underfoot with a medium flex, with this width and rocker they will be really playful in the park whether its butters or poppin onto rails. Amplid is really known for making really light skis which is also beneficial to maneuvering on the mountain. Although amplid does kinda have slight durability problem but if you thrash your skis that will happen anyways.
th chronic has traditional camber underfoot with a little stiffer medium flex. they are wide underfoot at 93 but this helps with the whole mountain. with normal camber underfoot the ski will carve well on groomers. but since there is no rocker/early rise like the rockwell it will not be as maneuverable as the rockwell. Line makes pretty durable skis, but with hold a great durability status they must use slightly heavier materials.

amplids break real easily.
if you go even a little hard, they won't last the season.
Just keep that in mind.
