Chronics if you go big. Invaders if you like rails and smaller stunts.

If you ski 90% park I would get Invaders or Anthems if you want something a bit fatter.

chronics are stiffer and still rock the park and big jumps, plus they are alot more reliable. I would say chronics last 3-4 years whereas invaders 1-2. I have no idea about anthems, since this is the first year they are available.

you post so many ill informed threads. Invaders and chronics are two completly different skis, invaders are super soft and true twins, chronics are stiff more all mountain park skis.

Next time try comparing some skis that are much more similar, and dont just stick to line, there are many more good brands that probably have a ski that better suits you.

I would check out some lib techs because they are supposed to handle really well on ice because of magnetraction, or some volkl walls if you want some symmtrical skis.

well first of all i ski chronics right now so im thinking of maybe still getting some but people say invaders are realllyyy sick and i think they look awesome so i was thinking of those. And i have been looking at other brands i looked at some ninthward lil buttters, 4frnt stl's, 4frnt tnk's, PE's and even was considering some NAS's but i heard they are stiff as 2x4's and chip like a mofo.

i would really check out walls if i was you, its a little stiffer than invaders so you can hit larger jumps and still symmtrical. im pretty sure thats what im buying for next year.
