from what I've heard, you probably want chronics. Haven't skied them though, but seen people on them, and they really liked them.

The chronics are awesome. For the money they are the best bet for sure. The Pro models cost a lil more but are worth it to, so if it comes down to money the Chronics for sure.

basicly the construction is the same as far as durability goes as far as i've heard. Thicker edges,bases,stiffer,etc etc. The Chronic is cheaper so if money is a factor go for them. I got the mike nicks. I should be getting them either today or tomorrow. I'll let u know how they look. IM anxious to see myself

i have the mike nick 05's and love them..sick ski, great skiing switch, durable as shit, even decent in the little bit of powder i ski'd them in

ive ridden chronics, also a great ski, perfect in park but still great all mtn riding

their both glossy topsheet, but my mike nicks have a reversed color pattern on the bases, pre-production demo models i think, but their the same exact ski as what people buy, just the black and white on the bases, that graphic, are transversed, so black is white and white is black

both great skis for the price

i have the 03-04 nike nicks and they rock my world but from what i hear about the cronics i would get them for shure .. plus they look sick . maybe if your not shure you can go to a local shop and ask to demo them both. lots of shops let you do that if you drop a credit card or your car lol . still good
