I'm deciding between getting this year's chronics or scimitars, and I am so torn between these two skis. I know that they will both fit my needs perfectly,but does anyone have any thoughts about either of them? I'm looking for something really playful to just mess around with. Anyone who has skied either what is the flex like? How are the rossis in the park? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, +k

Thanks

Nice choice both are fun skis, in order to answer your question, it would help if you could tell us:

Height

Weight

Skiing Ability

Where You Skiing on the Mountain and Where is your Mountain?

If you ski park rails:jumps ratio and what are the size of the features your hitting?

ive never ridden the scimitars but my chronics are a solid ski underfoot, yet buttery tip and tail. alos they are very light.

i have both skis, and the scimitars are fucking great. dont get me wrong the chronics are chronic but the rossi scimis are just all around great skis. bomb hills, ride some fresh pow, throw some sw 5s int he park, its all super easy. theyre also suuuuper cheap if you can find it at the right place. i'd mount them +4 (1cm from true center)

yeah sure, they both have medium flex, early rise/rocker in the tips and tails. best of both worlds

i would say the chronics are more stable on the groomers. if youre someone who really like to ski aggressive on the groomers you'll get a lot better edge hold out of the chronics. if youre the kinda guy who really likes to smear your turns then the rossi's might work better for you. if you have any plans to be hitting rails, chronics. the rossi's just are not made to take a beating in the park

so iv'e owned both skis what i can say is the chronics feel much lighter and they have this spring/pop to them that the scimitars just don't have, overall i would recommend the chronics because they have been more fun for me to ski on.

Any other questions pm me.
