any other good park ski options are welcome I am looking for ski lengths between 157-167. I was looking at the halos but they look to big for me.
Looking for very light skis, I am coming from riding on line masterminds by the way

Chronics are basically in my opinion a step up from masterminds, im skiing chronics now and they are sick just watch out for topsheet chipping

I wouldn't really call them flexy.

The main difference is that the Punx are symmetrical and Chronics aren't. If I were you I would base my choice on that.

flexy would also be a good term for chronics. early rise makes them feel flexy

depends on how you ski. If you're one of those people in the park all day, go for the punx. But if you like to hop in the trees every now and then or love to have fun in the powder go for the chronics. From what I've heard they are great in the powder.

I have the chronics and honestly even if you stay in the park all day sliding rails and hitting jumps the chronics are the way to go. A bit of a wider underfoot is nice in my opinion. Chronics are a great ski bro
