Line Chronics, Atomic Punx, Armada AR7

congrats on the first post!
AR7 is gona be your burliest option out of the three you mentioned, its a staple park ski that has been killin it for years. cant go wrong with them.
chronics will be the most playful ,as they will be the softest out of the three, and will be pretty durable. line has really stepped up their game in durability the past few years. chronics will also be the best if your skiing in deeper snow.
the punx will good at jumps and have good swing weight, but iv heard some issues with there durability for rails and such.

chronics or Ar7 in my opinion.

All of your options sound good, I personally was between the AR7 and Chronics this season. I chose the AR7, and I don't regret my decision. Great park ski but can still handle any all mountain. My only complaint is the very top sheet where the graphic is doesn't seem to be that durable on the 2015 model, I've already had some chipping by the binding but all around a great ski! Chronic or AR7 in my opinion.

Thanks to both of you for your responses! I think I'm going to steer clear of the AR7's because I really want that all mountain element as well as the park element. I also really like what I'm seeing with the flex patterns of the chronics and the reviews on durability have been great. Ill probably end up purchasing the chronics so is there any recommendations you can make for bindings or for where to get them mounted? Thanks!

chronics are a good choice, the core in the 2015 is more durable then the 2014s so look for a 2015 pair. if you like the all mountain aspect go like -1 or -2 back from true centre (line recommends -2.5mm). but mounting true centre honestly wont hurt at all and might be better if you are doing mostly park. since there is tip and tail rocker and symmetrical flex true centre will be fine. if you can decide go with -1mm form true centre.

Yah Chronics are a good choice. In terms of bindings go for any of these, Tyrollia attack 13/16, Marker Griffons, Rossi FKS 12/14, look pivot 12/14, or salomon wardens. Try and go for something that is mostly metal because they are more durable where all plastic bindings like the Marker squire are more likely to break on you. That being said even though the attack 13 is all plastic its more durable thatn the squire cuz its built better but still go for something with more metal like the griffon or FKS/pivot. Also I ride future spins which are almost the exact same as chronic's and my brother has chronics we both have them center mounted and they perform great even tho they are slightly directional, I would recommend that you mount them true center because you can balance on rails better, have a more even swing weight but still have good all-mountain ability.

spot on!

OP, go to your local shop, preferably one that has park staff, and ask about these bindings. check them out, see what deals they have and what the shop recommends.

Ok awesome. So mounting them true centre won't hurt all mountain performance? Also how is switch riding on them? (just wondering if anyone knows)

if you have mastered riding switch, most park skies wont give you a problem when riding switch. they should be fine. if they are not, take a day and just ride switch the whole time, you will get use to them.

Do you know how they are stiffness wise? I want to learn to do all sorts of butters and stuff
