I'm looking to get new skis. In your opinion which is better? Chronic's or traveling circus?

im interested in this as well. in my experience I went with the chronics as it seemed a little better for east coast crud. but the circus looks funner in the park.

You have to give way more information about what type of skier you are. Skis in general aren't "better" than one another, its about which ski fits ur style of skiing. For you it might not even be the Chronics or the TC's.

I just want opinion on which you prefer and like more. Also, reasons why you prefer one over the other.

I ski 93% park. In your experience how buttery were the chronics? Also, if you did rails, how are they on rails?

Well, if you are looking for new skis, its a good idea to widen your options beyond Line, there is a ski out there for everyone, but the difference is that the TC is softer than the Chronic, fully symmetrical, and has cap construction, as opposed to the Chronic's Capwall.

Then if you are a playful park skier who doesn't ski much all mountain and wants a soft price point ski go with the TC's. If you are a more aggressive skier and want more all around performance (from cap wall, stiffer flex, and a sintered base compared to the crappy extruded one on the TC) go with the Chronic.

Thanks that was helpful. I think I'm going with the TC. I like lots of buttery flex in my ski.

Np. If you don't need skis immediately, next year line is coming out with a more rockered version of the TC, theres details in the 2014-2015 gear thread

just get chronics, they shred all ove the mtn and in the park the tc's are only good for rails and you have to be really good to be able to handle them on anything over 45 thry flex out so easy they're better this season but like id would definetly go chronics, i didnt read any other shit on this post but im sure everyone has said chronics? if you want something supah soft then go for the k2 domain
