70/30 jumps-rails

My beloved 2012's finally disintegrated yesterday, so now I'm in the market for a new pair of planks. I have moved up to a new home mountain, and I'm looking for something new in a ski. Preferably something thats stiffer with less rocker and wont wash out like the 2012's did, I love big jumps and skiing retarded fast and the 2012s got squirrely pretty quickly, currently looking at demoing the Chronics and hopefully trying the ar7's, any other suggestions or support for one of the two contenders?

Eh, since you're doing more jumps than rails I'd say the Chronic is a good option, a little wider for more stability, p stiff, you can use them wherever the butt you want and Will Wesson rides them, what more could you want? (Can you actually do MULTIPLE whirligigs?)

Thanks, +k for you.
Anyone in favor of the ar7s? I keep hearing good things about the chronics, but MAN are they ugly.

id say ar7 is a more versatile ski than the chronic and the on3p jmo is another option

The ar7s sound good for you. Can't really go wrong with the ar7s. They are pretty stiff and will handle jumps really well.
