So I bought the 2023 line chronic 94’s beginning of last season and I have probably skied 60-70 days on them. Didn’t take long for the cosmetic issues to start showing bc the top sheet is all jacked up. I don’t really have a problem with that tbh but now my edge ripped out so that’s a bit of a problem. I really like how these have performed but I can’t buy new skis that aren’t going to last at least a few years. Most people seem to think it’s not worth it to repair them when it’s this bad and I have already epoxied the edge back in and it broke in 1 day. So my question is should I get new chronics? They claim there is durability upgrades but seems they say that every year. Any other recommendations or just advice in general? I’m not looking to spend more than 400 considering i haven’t had these for very long. I’m 5”9 165lbs mostly skiing park but I’ll hit up the trees and groomers every day too.
Definitely not woth to fix tbh. I have these and the new 101s. They're are definitely more durable than the previous versions but that does make them feel pretty different (much stiffer underfoot with more of a hinge point). I like the new stuff and the durability has been confirmed by homies on them who are better park riders. If you want an alternative the ARV 100s are similar but definitely more expensive

Those are actually Chronics from 2022! They are the ones we had available before we released the Chronic 94 & 101. The ones you have there are 95 underfoot. The new 94 and 101's are much beefier and more durable - just saying ;)
70 days of park riding is quite a decent amount, any brand of skis will start to look like that. Just go with whatever skis you like and get a good deal on

Ended up buying the new 94s. Pretty hype for the durability
