Any opinions on the this? I need a twin tip because I've landed a job as a ski instructor and all I've got are a SL and GS race skis, I also want something that I can ride the whole mountin with. All opinions and expeareinces on the skis would be really helpful, thanks!

Line chronics for sure. Never heard anything bad about them everyone I know who has ridden them loves them they would be good for the whole mountain as well as instructing

If your not doing park, at all, chronics are decent. I would say if your going for a twin-tip all mountain, go with line masterminds or armada ar7's.

chronics are super fun to ski and can shred all over. they're a little wider so you can ski deeper snow but are also great for park if you want to start to get into it

Then get chronics. Or atomic punx, but punx are more for park. Chronics can be a litrle more all around. Like correct me but i think they would be 55% park 45%whatevrr. Or vice-versa

My friend has some bridges, from what he has told me they are a bit more oriented towards Powder, which depending where you live may or may not be common.

If you live on East Coast (or if you want to do a lot of park) I would go with Chronics, West go with the Bridges

I ski in Tahoe, California, so not really days o powder to ski around here, which makes me want to go Chronics, and it's a cheaper ski!

In general they are pretty similar, but Volkl themselves have it rated more for Powder then Park.

whatever, they are pretty similar, and I haven't skied them, my friend has.

If there pretty similar I think I might go with the Chronics because there cheaper and I'm on a budget.

I'm pretty sure 2013 Chronics are a light ski, but I may be wrong.
