Line Chronic?

Yo everyone,

Looking for a new ski and the Chronics are of interest to me. Im from the midwest and ride 80% park. Im just coming off the K2 shreditor 102s in a 189 so the size combined with the width felt like a little too much ski for me in the park. How does everyone like their chronics, and how does the durability of the chronic compare with the subpar durability of other line skis?

I ride chronics, great ski but a little stiff for my style. I haven't had any major issues with their durability and I've been riding them two seasons. Definitely buy.

Been riding the 2016 chronics this year and they've been awesome. Super poppy and I can butter them around pretty well (5'8" 165 on the 178s) Would highly recommend. Only issue I found was riding in the slush, like yesterday I found I was catching my forward edge on some takeoffs when there was lots of slush and they would get rocked around a bit.

Love my chronics. Perfect ski for doing everything in the park. I have edge cracks but no worse than any other ski

Awesome thanks guys, I just copped the 178 from evo for $400. May be a bit short considering im 6'2" 180 but they'll be mostly used on rails so it should be alright!
