Where did you find out what 2017 skis look like?

And also, are you just looking Graphics of the ski, or are you looked the specs of those skis

Well punx is atomics top notch quality park ski while chronics are a bit more affordable which might mean that quality isn't so good.. I'd pick punx since I have ridden them and they are awesome

Chronics are the same price if not more expensive then the punxs. quality between the two can be debatable. but the quality for the chronics is not any worse than the punx, and depending on who you talk to it might even be better. both are quality skis

Get the Chronics. They have more underfoot and they'll be more playful and fun to ride.

neski30Punx are stiff af


I tend to disagree with this notion. The get a reputation of being a pipe/comp ski, but honestly they are not very stiff. Of the park skis I have ever had (Rossignol Scratch, ON3P Jeronimo, Nordica Ace of Spades, and Atomic Punx), they are by far the softest. Thats not to say they are not stable though. I find them to be a perfect combo of stability and playfulness. Super fun to mess around and butter around on. At least for me.

I have this years chronics and I dont think im gonna get them again next year. Just almost as if they are too flexy for me. I want something stiff and light that I can control and I think the punx fit that.

Everyone saying that the Punx are soft must be talking about the 2013 version. The new version is stiff. Definitely stiffer than the line chronics and stiffer than my rossi scratches.

the Chronics aren't a price point ski...with that said, the punx fit me better. I own the 2014 punx and they rock. Durability isn't an issue for me and as long as you take care of them they'll last you a while. The topsheets are pretty beaten up already though
