I'm looking for new skis next year and I'm looking for a ski to ride 70% park and like 30% all mtn. I want something around the 93+ width, that also has a bit of rocker, while still maintaining camber underfoot. I've looked at Moment PB+J's, Armada Alpha X, and line Chronic and TC. Any comments on any of those skis. Pros and COns?

Also, does anyone have any of the mentioned skis for say?

Whats the main difference between the Blend say and the chronic? I know the blends a bit wider but is there any noticable difference in weight or anything? I'm like 6'3 also

I've never used the blend so i can't really give great advice about it. On lines website though it looks like the rocker is a bit more noticeable and the blend is obviously going to be a little heavier than the chronic. At my hill though there is quite a few people that i've seen riding blends and i've seen maybe two other people with chronics in the park.

what year chronic do u have bud? the 2013 (The orange one) is decently heavy for a park ski and has little to no flex compared to another line ski like the masterminds.

blends are wider underfoot, get fatter at the tips, and have a little more rocker.

I love the PBJ personally, very stable all mountain ski that's narrow enough to still be fun and playful in the park.

If you've checked out the latest GoodEnough episodes Jon Susman ripped these in the park along with Shay lee when he was still on Moment

I have a 188 Pb&J, and had a 183 Line Blend last year. If your doing more park than all mtn, definitely go with the blend. I loved that ski, and wish i never sold it... The Pb&j is better for all mountain, crud busting, charging and more confident on landings.

Only thing is, neither the pb&j or blend are particularly good when it comes to ice. Some of my fatter skis are better on ice.

the orange chronics (and this year's) are a fairly soft/flexy ski.

Just for the sake of transparency I'm 5'8 and about 130lbs, I don't play football, lift weights or otherwise feel the need to partake in the macho, towel whipping in the locker room, branch of sports. Yet even I think of the chronics as a flexy ski.

OP The difference between them and the blend, aside from the width is the chronic is mid-soft tip/tail and the blend is ridiculously over the top soft in the tip/tail.

PB&Js are STIFF, stiffer than my Jmos, and much less flex than anything line (excluding their freeride skis) makes. They aren't really designed to a be a park ski, more all mountain ripper. You can think of it as bigger vice or smaller bibby depending how you look at it, same ski design. I don't think it would be the best choice for 70% park, maybe for 70% all mountain though.

Where are you skiing? I'm not a huge armada fan but people seem to love the Alpha or Aldentes for a wider park ski. Faction definitely has more than one ski for park/mountain in the 90-100mm category, check out the Soma or Wednesday. Although its a symmetrical ski, ON3P FR's could probably get around the mountain fairly well, they have a ton of rocker and a very substantial core. Most companies make a 90ish park ski with rocker/camber/rocker these days anyways, you shouldn't have much trouble finding a good ski.

Thanks man, I checked out faction but id like it to be symmetrical. The on3p FRs look sick, exactly what I was describing. Anyone know of anyone with them for sale?
