Looking at the 2103 models of these skis and I've come down to these choices. I would say I am an intermediate skier. I am looking for a ski that is good on rails can handle 30-50 footers, is flexy, and durable. I am 5'6 140 lbs and 80% park 20% all mountain.

Once again thank you NS.

Punxsutawney. They are light and poppy and do well on both jumps and rails

This. I dont understand when people say light skis like the punx do bad on big kickers and stuff but you always see Jossi and Andreas slay on the things.

Do you want to know how I know that you are 12?

You can never go wrong with AR7s! But I'm sure any of these choices would be great! Good luck with the selection.

Why do people act like assholes on here? We all come to this site cause we love skiing plain and simple. Be a dick elsewhere.

AR7 slays it in the park and every where else on the mountain. Thats my experience.
 Punx to JIb at full symmetrical ski. Chronic was not up to the durability side I thought. Went with AR7 at -2.5. It skis switch like a champ. Then again Im 50% park 50%all mnt

I haven't skied the chronics before, but the punx are pretty good. The ar7's might be a better choice for you. The only thing is they're a bit heavier so if you like lighter skis than yes go with the punxs.

You can´t go wrong with the AR7! Punx are also sick. Never skied the chronics.

AR7 is stiff, light, and is a great jump ski. full camber.
chronics are rockered and not as stiff, better for jibbing imo, but i know some have liked them on jumps.
punx are also a good option. fun. playful. solid.

all are good options in their own right. but if jumps are your priority, i would go punx or ar7
