So right now it's between the chronic and the blend. I was set on the chronic because I only ski park for the second half of the season, but I'm really considering the blend because I go every powder day and will take trips to places with deep snow. Sooo how does the chronic hold up in powder as well as all around all mountain performance? And rails are definitely easier on a more narrow platform, but due to their fatness, are the blends going to be noticeably more difficult to maneuver in the park?

I have the dynastar 6th slicers right now and I'm able to hit every feature in the park with them. So I'm not worried that the blends will be hard to get used to in the park, but will I notice a positive difference on a more narrow ski in the park?

A wider ski will always feel
different in the park. Not necessarily better or worse. For me it took a while to adjust to a fatter ski on rails. But over time you get Used to it and just mob everything on the wider ski and appreciate the width. :)
