Line Chronic or Armada AR7

Which ski should I get? I was thinking about getting the Line Chronic, and then I heard that the top-sheet gets destroyed. And the AR7 I have no idea because I never see people riding on Armada's. I want something that is really good in the park, but can carve all mountain, and the top-sheet will hold up. Which one should I go for? And if you have any other recommendations, put them up.

I cant speek for the chronic but i have skiid the ar7s for a season and a quarter. They have rediculous durability. I ski a lot of trees, rocks and rails and have zero edge cracks, i have a few dings in the bases but nothing down to the core. They work great everywere in the park, they also make a great east coast all mtn chargeing ski because they are pretty stiff, the ar7 seems perfect for you
I hope this helps, pm me for any questions, oh and the top sheet doesent chip because of the rounded corners that come with the half cap half sidewall construction

why does everyone care so much about the topsheet?

I have the 2010 ar6 which is almost the same as the ar7. The only difference is that they have a full sidewall. They ski great all over the mountain. I would definitely recommend the ar7 seeing as it is almost the same thing.

The ar7s are stiffer, have a completely different constuction and are 2mm thicker throughout the whole ski, I dont want to sound like a tool. But they are very different

I will take ur word for it but the only difference i was aware of is the ar50 sidewall instead of the full sidewall.

the ar7's are like the armada version of the chronic and armada is a better company so i would stick with the ar7's

Chronic is one of the best all mountain skis IMO

I just got ar7's this season. I am very impressed by them and would highly suggest them to anyone. you can take them anywhere on the mountain and feel comfortable with them.
But I have heard the chronics are fun too. I believe they are a little stiffer than the ar7.
