Whats up guys, I have broken my line chronics and am in need of a new ski. I really like the shape but the 2018-2019 version was stiff as piss and I didnt like it. Looking for some early rise in the tip and tail and 96 underfoot. 5 point sidecut would be awesome but not super important. My first though is k2 poacher next would be an armada arv 96 third would be another chronic as they softened it up this year. After having my chronic delam on day 3 any epoxying it multiple times, im not stoked on their durability. Any other suggestions would be awesome.

If he likes the chronics and dislikes the stiffness that they once had, the poachers would be a terrible choice. I think you should look at the arv 96 due to waist width, flex pattern and a similar weight to the chronics. Poachers would also not be great for you as they are heavy as balls

chronic I had was pretty heavy, it was the stiff version they made for one season. Hand flexing this years chronic seemed to soft. Looking for something in between for flex. Ill compare the weights and report back but I cant imagine them being that much heavier than what I currently have.

weight of the poacher in 184 is 2100 grams, the line chronic that I had says its 1900 grams in the 178 cm size. I had the 185's so I would say weight is damn close to the same
