no time are the worst park ski, i would go for chronics, the durabilty and performance is going to be so much better than no times

I have ridden chronics for a bit and they were great, I really liked the stiffer more snappy flex, they had great pop and felt they were fun and playful on rails and jibs. I have never ridden Anthems (travelling circus), but I can say that they are softer and symetrical so they will feel more jibby.

my friend has them. They seem durable with no real damage after 1 season. They are jib rocker with early rise in the tip and the tail and seem very buttery but can still handle the groomers really well.

Had a pair of 09/10 disorderlys (old domains) and they were a pretty good ski. Pretty soft, and had a lot of flex. I ended up switching to suspects though. They were just not the ski for me. But they are a pretty good ski in general.

I'd say domains. From what I've heard, there has been some issues with the afterbangs.

Here's the abangs in a nutshell: they are heavy and slow, but indestructible. They don't snap, they just slowly become more and more rockered and the bases get more and more trashed. I would go with the Domains. Sintered base=speed.

if you can ride either of those skis, you must not be too hard on rails.
