I ski in the Midwest. Intermediate-advanced ability. 5’8” 170 lbs. Right now I ski on 171 2019 Line Chronics. I bought them with the intent to get more into the park but it just never really happened. I like to carve on groomers, side hits, some trails/trees, some jumps.
I’m looking for something more stable that can hold an edge when it’s icy yet isn’t a complete plank and can still be quick edge to edge. Some skis on my radar are Line Blade Optic 92 or 96, Armada Declivity 92 Ti, Nordica enforcer 88 or 94.
Couple other questions:
Are the Blade optics too similar to the Chronics to be worth buying? Are the Nordica enforcers too far on the stiff/directional of the spectrum for what I’m looking for?
