Hi, I'm looking to buy new skis this year and I'm looking at Line Chronic, Honey badger, and Tom Wallisch Pro. I'm mostly debating between the TW pros and Chronics. I want the best ski for the park and both seem equally good so I'm not sure which one to get.

This should help you
If you want a ski that is more All-Mountain get the Chronic, but personally I would get the TW

Now the only worry I have is are they durable because I ski pretty rough, Do you have any experience/knowledge about their durability.

Because Line Skis for most of their sticks are pretty light, they lack durability espacially on the top sheets, those chip pretty hard.
But the TW Pro is advertised as a ski that can handle street and rough riding, so you should be good.

The TW Pros are easier to whip around due to taper in tip and tail, but there will be not much diffrence.

either one would be fine. also it's worth mentioning that level 9 sports has the 178 armada e dollo on sale for $350 if that interests you

whatever you do, dont worry about it! these are all great skis (except the honey badger, i dont know anything about it but id suggest these others over it for sure), pick one and be done!

"Advertised" is the key word. Doesn't mean its the truth. The old afterbangs were advertised as super durable and yet the delamed super easily. Not sayin the TW aren't durable just saying a company can say what they want about their product to make it more attractive. Something to be aware of.

Like the others said you should be fine with either the TW or the Chronic. Even if you end up skiing a bit more all mountain than expected, having one over the other won't make much difference because they are both medium width park skis.

I’ve had the Chronic’s for 2 seasons now and ridden them pretty much everyday. Easily the best skis I’ve had to date. Great in the air, lightweight and super durable. They have been through a lot of abuse and it’s held up really well. The only thing I would say that they are more of a stiffer ski so butters are a bit harder.

I have bought the TW’s for next season but havent ridden them yet, looking forward to checking them out. GOod luck with deciding.
