Hi Guys,
just some advice and you seem to know the shit on this subject.
I freeride with pilot 10's but thinking of getting Line Chronics to do the job, similar side cut etc.
Will they do the job or are they for the park.
I ski powder, bumbps and minor jumps!!!

Thanks

with park and powder do fujatives. cheaper too. or skogens cause those arent bad all around

i got in a car crash,got shot at,and attacked by a fucking bobcat. cross country is boring.

fujatives are better for pow bumps because they're so soft, they're pretty good in park too but the chrons are a little narrow for pow but sooo sick in park. it's give and take with every ski. you also need to take into accout the weight of the chronic with reactors, they're a bit on the heavy side but you can't tell when you ski them. both skis have good pop and the fujatives have gnarly flex. i suggest you demo a few different skis and pick the one you like the most, don't go from what everyone on the internet says.

i heard the flex patter for the fujatives is that of the t halls but who knows if thats true. BUT chronics have 80 mm wait and fujatives have like 85mm so i dont ski backcountry but those numbers arent that far off. maybe its a big difference, i dont know.

In the UK they are telling us that they are park skis but free to roam off piste....

they're a pretty good all around ski but like all other skis you have to try them yourself

i'd say get the skogens if you're lookin for something like that.

they're pretty much just like the chronics, but a wider ski, so they'll be better for off-piste.

either the skogens or mike nicks. they're the same ski, but the nick's are a little softer.

i was in the same situation as you basically i used to rock skogens but i wanted to change things up a bit so i almost got the chronics, needless to say i switched things up and went with K2 because its such a sick deal for the price, i just hope they live up to the hype

it hasnt been worked on for ten years. line has just been around about ten years so they mean that after ten years of making mediocre skis they made a dope one, thats my theory. it isnt like they had some super secret chronic program from the beginning.
