Armada AR7 vs Line Chronic

Also thinking about K2 recoils. They seem pretty similar and are the same price as the Chronics and AR7s but I'm not sure how K2 park skis are in general

i was in the exact same boat as you. AR7 chronics and recoils.

i went ar7 but i live on the east so im not blessed with powder. if i were you i would go chronic because it has the widest waist so it is the best choice for pow. ive also heard that recoils hold up well in the pow because of their all mtn rocker.

all are good choices tec and price wise so you cant go wrong. 

wow. you must be my twin brother or something... if you check out my thread i have the exact same question. right now im leaning more towards the chronics but the only problem is the size. cause i probably will need either a 178 or 183.

i work at a ski shop and im not at all an expert but i have picked up both ski's cause i have em downstairs in the shop waiting to be mounted for some customers and they are both sweet but I personally am diggin the AR7's, imo, they are more responsive then the chronics, i feel like the chronics are a little stiffer, the ar7 has cap and sidewall as opposed to the chronics which i believe have full vertical sidewall, there both pretty easy to get up on edge but like i said before, imo, i like the ar7's way more then the chronics, thats my 2 cents on the subject at hand

I have 2013 ar7 and love em in park best ski I've ever rode and when I take em in pow (Michigan so not much) they are on top mostly and can turn really well because they are camber however deep pow isn't there best place but any were else you need this ski

I've skied the AR7 and the Recoil. Granted I only skied the AR7 for a day because I forgot my one ski hahaha but overall I'd have to say the Recoil. One of the main reasons is the responsiveness. The ski is very lively, poppy, and fun to ski. The profile is also awesome. They only have early rise in the tip of the ski which helps with butters and surface swaps and the rest of the ski is camber which gives some very solid edge hold. Recoils are also pretty stiff and beefy which make them stable on jumps and at high speeds. Butters are presses are also very fun. Although they're stiff when you do get them to press they spring back like crazy! Probably the most durable ski I've ever had too. 3.5mm edges, bombproof top sheet, and a crazy strong core. The ar7s are an awesome ski as well but didn't feel as playful when I skied them. I honestly have only good things to say about recoils and would highly recommend them! As for the chronic I've never skied them therefor Idk they loom nice tho and are the widest ski of the three you mentioned which will help when you go ski backcountry.

AR7 and chronic would be great park/allmnt skis but both are gonna suck in PNW snow.
The only reason I got by with my AR7 in pow was I ski in Colorado.
If was you I would seriously consider a fatter ski. Mainly cause you live in an Area with some really heavy snow.
Line blend would be a good choice and not to more expensive.

If I had to pick between AR7 & CHronic I'd go CHronic. Rockerd, fatter,and taller.
