Heard that the top sheet on the chronics gets ripped up really easy, and i was thinking about getting them. is it true that the topsheet is weak?

It doesnt matter what the top sheet looks like or how durable it is. the chronic is a sick ski, and from what ive seen, it actually is relatively durable.

ive had my chronics for 3 years now and the only problem is if u hit your skis together on the side the topsheet starts to chip

thank you - someone had to say it. ever topsheet chafes eventually if you ride vertical sidewalls, which your a fool if you don't

if you want your skis to look "pretty" then take a damn file to the top edge of the sidewalls and round them out so they don't chip off as fast

Same here. Mild chipping, but otherwise it still skis like a boss.
