Line chronic binding position.

dead centre

theyre a full on park ski so theyre built to be mounted center. on lines site the factory recommend mount point is -0.3cm which is so close to center its fucking meaningless

Heyo!

Stoked you dropped in on a pre-order for the new Chronic. Man, they are fun. There are a couple of considerations.

1) How Tall are you?
2) Do you normally mount your park skis dead center?
3) Is this your only pair of skis?

Look, the new Chronic is a pretty rad all-mtn ski, and you'll certainly love skiing the thing at recommended all over the hill. Being -3 back means that you'll get a touch more float on those days when it actually snows. But skiing narrower/hardpack skis dead center is the norm for most of us, so if you've been doing that in years past, you'll definitely appreciate it for skiing all-over. Additionally, if you're 6 feet or so, definitely go recommended if it's your every day whip.

For a little background, I'm about 5' 9" 155 lbs, and I've been "borrowing" a pair of the 2019 skis with a demo binding for the last month before I ship 'em to camps. Normally ride a dead-center mounted 185 blend. Basically, I can switch back and forth between dead center and -3. Living in WA, it's a lot of skiing to get to the park. I've found -1.5 is kind of ideal. feels fine taking off/skiing switch, and still rips. I don't get over the tips like I do when I'm centered. Turns super well.

That being said, I like more progressively mounted skis (farthest I go back is -4, and that's for a directional Sick Day Tourist. So in reality, you can't go wrong, as long as you don't go back from -3 cm. I'd say go -3 for 50/50 use, -1.5 for 75/25 park/all-mtn., and Dead Center for dedicated park ski.

Theres your answer ^. Personally I go center on park skis every time cuz i ride like 85-90% park on em. Depending how comfy you feel going closer you feel going to center and your skier info (weight, height, etc) would direct you probably anywhere in the -1cm to -3cm, however, I probably wouldn't go back any further than -2cm if you use it for park at all

I mounted my '17 Chronics -1 cm. They feel amazing. I'm 6' and 155lbs and im on the 178's.

Thanks lads, as I have blends for all mountain I’m going to mount dead center. Realistically I got them to get a bit more stuck into park so may as well set them up like so!

Cheers boys!!!

bruh blends are the worst all mountain skis lol

Not when you live in New Zealand. Mountains are tiny and the ski is super playful. Not to mention the variable snow.

yeah but the second you go fast.... all hell breaks loose haha

Maybe I need that set of poachers! If my blends are as bad as you say I’m looking forward to seeing how good the new whips will be!

Definitely true center. however, chronics arent the best all mtn ski. and a bad ski all around. Had some last year and had no flex and a stick. Wrens might be a better suggestion. But those are $$$
