I'm looking for a new pair and have been eyeing the Holyshred/Chronic skiis. I mostly do park & downhill, unfortunately not many big hills in my area. Any help is appreciated. Thanks fellas!

there is really no reason to getting the holy shred it’s stiff and expensive which doesn’t benefit you on a smaller hill

How does a stiff ski not help you on a small hill?

Definitely pushing the budget with the holyshreds so the chronic seems to be the move. Thanks man!

Would a stiff ski be good for park?

Your right I guess it’s more of a personal preference since the terrain doesn’t demand it

It all depends on what you are doing, ability and personal preference.

can vouch for chronics being a fun ass ski for both in and out of the park, have definitely skied some large lines on mine

just don't mount them further back than the recommended line

I hate to say it because Rossignol is such a fucking mess of a brand but the Holy Shred (besides the absolutely horrendous name) is actually a really sick ski. It’s stable at speed but the tips and tails are definitely still accessible if you like to do butters and stuff like that. It definitely takes more work and/or a stronger skier to bend them a lot, but it has a lot of energy. Plus it does way better on the rest of the hill than other skis in it’s class.
