you will like them, the chronic is their stiffest, best skiing park ski, still flexy but with more snap than a TC or Mastermind. also, more stable all mountain and at 121-92-117, they might as well be an east coast pow ski

Chronics are the one of the best all mountain park skis out there.

I bought them last year. Expect them to be a little heavier than your average park ski but they hold up real well there was zero delam and they still look brand new. They are stiffer for a park ski. Id recommend them

Quite possibly funnest ski I ever skied. I had them mainly for park and they were still great when I went out to whistler.

My ski! I have them. They are excellent. I can butter the whole length of our 1/4 mile long park. I've only had them for two years (this year makes three) but laying down long butters and hitting many rails hasn't done anything to the ski. Well the edges have been changed but what ski doesn't need that

can't go wrong with the ski, although it is a wider than most park ski so that will come into play

Chronics are sickk! but if you are still comparing, look at the 4frnt switchblade, its pretty similar to the chronic in that allmountain park ski range and i know alot of people prefer it because of its playfulness. deff somthing to consider

If they're anything like the Invaders that I've been riding for the last 5 years then I think they'll be just fine on the durability front
