Choosing a new ski

I'm thinking I need to upgrade from my poachers, they're 3 seasons old now and the wood is exposed on parts of the top sheet, apart from that they still ski fine but would like a new ski.

I ski 50/50 all mountain park, but want something a bit lighter

Short list is, chronic, twalls, or reckoners.

anyone has any recommendations or advice?

Just wood exposed? Like just top sheet chips? No edges falling out or delamination, I’d say keep skiing them until they snap or you loose and edges

I had a pair of blends and the topsheets got destroyed in one year and my friend has some tom wallishs and they delamed in afew weeks. Line makes fun cheaper skis but not durable at all

Yeah edges are fine and bases still fast and no delam, just missing a few rivets. Just want to tak advantage of the upcoming sales. I'm pretty sure they'd last me another season but I want to upgrade too haha
