Are LINE Chronics All Mountain skis?

This will be the first season that I purchase skis as I have just moved to CO and plan on skiing over 30 days. I’m an advanced skier that likes to charge just as much as I like to play around. I plan on skiing every type of terrain from pow to park. I went to the ski shop and described my ski style to the guy working and he recommended LINE Chronics or Sir Francis Bacons. Would these be good skis for my style or are there better options out there? I’m really looking for 1 ski to do it all. For the record I’m 5’10 200 lbs

I think either will charge well at you weight. As a fellow thicc boy I have never been happy with Line's offerings outside of their skis with metal in them.

What skis would you recommend for a “quiver killer” for the 2022 season

I’m the same weight and only an inch taller and I don’t like any of lines skis except for the vision because I fold them in half, and I’d only ski the vision as a pure pow ski. If you like to charge and you want a one ski quiver go Moment Wildcat 101 or Jeffrey 102. Those 2 invented the playful charger category

The chronics are a good budget mountain-to-playground conversion kit, especially when finally buying your own first pair. I have owned both those and the On3P Jeffrey’s, and like the Jeffs in any width better, but you’ll pay for it.

Dynastar menace 98 isn’t as cool as moment / on3p / line / etc but especially if you are on a budget they are great…if they still make them.

Don’t make them anymore but definitely a super solid recommendation, a very underrated ski

Why would you think you’re advanced if you’ve never even owned a pair of skis? I can’t understand the lack of self-conciousness…

To answer your question: I have both and Line Chronics are not all-mountain skis, they are park skis that work considerably well all-mountain. The SFBs are an all-moultain ski but they are not chargers, all though I prefer the loose feel because it makes them fun.

the tips are quite low, but depends on how much snow you get. if it doesn't snow too much they work well. but i will recommend the bacons since they float great for their waist and are really playfull

If you wanna charge all mountain, while the bacon is one of my favorites, I wouldn’t recommend, it’s super playful to me at 175, your gonna find em to be noodles. I’d consider them more of a freestyle/all mtn mix
The chronics are gonna sink in any soft snow, can’t recommend outside of park and groomers, but it’s fun and can charge more than the bacon.
I would put you on a dynastar m free.
