Buying new Skis: 2012 Volkl Bridge vs. 2012 Line Chronic

Firstly I'm more of an all mountain skier. However I do love me some park as well, so I am looking for something that will suit me well in both areas. That being said, I'm not the greatest park skier and probably never will be. I know the Chronic has more versatility than the Bridge, but if I'm a casual park skier, will it make much of a difference?
I held the Bridge in the shop at the mountain the other day and it is just sooo sexy...At the moment I'm leaning towards the Bridge.
Thoughts?

Going to have to disagree with you saying chronics are more versatile. Chronic is geared much more towards park. Anyway, i have the 2012 Volkl bridge and its awesome. It tears through the hardpack and is still excellent in the park. I have not skied it in powder yet because in WNY its 100% man made snow. The bridge is an excellent all mountain ski and 95mm underfoot is the sweet spot for me. I would unquestionably go with the bridges. Although you might want to look at the Atomic theory or moment tahoe. Very similar to the bridge.

Cool that is good to hear. I ski at Mount Snow in Vermont. Still mostly manmade here, but there are already a ton of features set up at Carinthia. I'm thinkin' snow for ya.
