The Line chronics are a really good ski not all that buttery but would hold up fairly well on groomers. Afterbangs and most really buttery skis aren't great for groomers. Anyways if your more after buttery, mastermind,Abangs,next year line TC ski(probably since there like anthems),Thall etc...

Atomic punx durable, light, buttery ... To be honest once you start hitting rails you'll loose any crooner performance they once had

Afterbangs for durability, but they are not as buttery as some other skis.

If anyone tries to say that a-bangs are durable in one more thread, I might scream.

They are no more durable than any other ski, and probably even less durable than most skis IMO. "Skate tech" is garbage.

They have no laminate on the topsheet, just paint on wood. You get one good sized chip in them, and you then have a good amount of wood exposed that can then soak up water, eventually ruining the ski. I have seen it happen.


Surface park skis suck too haha, I know that from personal experience. (the cheap ones anyway, people seem to like double times/watch lifes)
