Whip its, Chronics, or Filthy Riches.

Those are all very different skis.

The filthy rich has a good amount of rocker, and has a slightly stiffer feel to it. They are also incredibly durable.


The Whip its and chronics, are extremely buttery. I know that they are traditional camber. I have also seen some questionable durability issues with other line skis, but not the chronic.

VizualI know that they are traditional camber.

All 3 of these skis are Rocker-Camber-Rocker, the FR has the most amount of rocker, then the whip-it, then the Chronic, all 3 have about the same amount of camber underfoot.

Whipits have what seem to be low quality cores my friend had the nose of his ski fully snap doing a jump (didnt even knuckle) and i looked it the core ait seemed pretty weak in comparison to what they market as high quality woodcores and I see lines break all the time multiple friends of mine have broken chronics.

Im not a personal fan of on3p but i cant deny that they are always said to be durable and ive talked to kids who own them and they say they are great skis

If you're looking at buying "next year's" equipment, I would highly recommend the chronics. They've made a few very helpful revisions to the ski this year (as well as a better graphic in my opinion). I was able to demo some of the 2016's in a 178 (I'm 6' by the way) a a shop demo day, and here's what i can tell you:

they've stepped up the p-tex on the cap-wall construction to a beefier more "dense" material than you'll find in the previous models.

also, having owned a pair of 2015 future spins (same basic construction with a skinnier waist width and more camber) I appreciate that they seem to have pressed the topcoat a bit on the tip and tail in what i assume is an attempt at helping to reduce topsheet chipping. this has been somewhat of an issue across several Line models.

As far as I can tell, they have not changed the profile of the ski at all. it remains a slightly cambered ski with a generous tip and tail rocker (or early rise, same thing). the waist width is still the good 'ol 92 underfoot, which can still power through lots of different terrain from softer snow to crud to ice. it skis very well switch, with the waist width aiding you a bit in keeping the skis stable and the tip and tail rocker helping you power through variable snow conditions without having to lean forward much (i.e., it'll help you land better if the landings get tracked out)

overall, I was very impressed, which is why I'm recommending it to you. Hope this helps

Well then what fucking skis do you ride

Dude filthy riches are awesome I have them as a park ski as well as kartel 98s. The pop on the skis are so much more lively Than my camber thalls and ar7 that I owned. Yes the rocker profile is a tad big but I know I have destroyed my tips with camber cause I butter hard and tend to tap into rails but the no edge in tips and tails have saved me from going through 4-5 pairs a season. Next season I am looking at getting another pair for a all mountain ripper ski. Filthys are the way to go had a pair for two years minor edge cracks from slamming into rails as usual

line canned their maplelite cores this season cause of skis breaking.

w_skierline canned their maplelite cores this season cause of skis breaking.

lol

I don't expect many people to know, but all they did was literally take out maple and put in aspen wood, and rename it aspenlite cores.

That's what they have in store for next year in terms of tech. Looks like tiger snakes are gonna be techy af.

thats neat but the chronics still have the maple cores.

as for the maplelite cores the issue wasnt the aspen it was the fact that the core had 2 different woods, in every video ive seen of snapped chronics/blends its always halfway between the bindings and end of the ski, even my chronics have a slight topsheet wave from flexing there.

I ride future spins and im sure any one whose ridin chronics can atest to this as well but Chronics(idk about whipits) are not extremely buttery. they got a good stable flex that is also fun and playful that give an overall park ability there not super soft and buttery

Jason should probably make some thicker cores too or modify the build then. I've seen a lot more trashed j skis (with owners that don't ski hard than on3p or armada ( to name a few) and i ski on APOs best built ski ive ever used if i can help it im gona continue using apos. The only thing i dont like about then is the edges are fairly thin

Filthy riches. Have you looked into Icelantic Da'Nollies?

I've looked into icelantic, but not much. How durable/heavy are they?

pretty darn durable, and they have a two year warranty so thats always a plus. i dunno about weight though, all i know is that i've seen people dub on them haha so probably not too heavy

stinky_petepretty darn durable, and they have a two year warranty so thats always a plus. i dunno about weight though, all i know is that i've seen people dub on them haha so probably not too heavy

The best part about them is they have a 2 year Warranty that is no questions asked! Talk to Pkchu_ ! He is awesome. He has a few edits on them and he has persuaded me into really considering them for my next ski! I'll forward on what he said about them when I get on my computer next! Peace
