We gave our Review Team one job:
Find the best and most popular products and review them. Our review team always considers durability, price, quality, and value in their reviews.
As trends change and technology improves, we see skiers who want something less specialized. Something that’s not necessarily adept, but at least adequate in any terrain they choose.
The latest iteration of the Chronic is a great daily choice for 50/50 frontside-freestyle skiers, or those who want something a little tougher than they typically get from Line for riding rails.
The last few seasons we’ve seen a lot of toeing the “Line” between park skis and all mountain rippers.The Chronic is a classic ski from Line, and like the Blend above, is sitting somewhere between the park boundary and the rest of the mountain.
However, where the Blend is soft and accommodating of some more bendy and buttery freestyle tricks, the Chronic gives you a little more to work with in variable snow.
Notable Features
Symmetric Flex: The fore and aft sections of the ski have the same flex pattern for a more predictable ride regardless of which end is pointed downhill.
5-Cut: Multiple-radius sidecut allows skiers to more easily make a variety of different turn shapes.
Things we like:
-
Serviceable all-mountain ski that still rips the park -
Super tough and durable compared to other Line park skis
Things we don't like:
-
Doesn’t butter as well as the Blend or other, softer park skis
- Waist: 95 mm
- Length: 164-185 cm
- Rocker Profile: Rocker/Camber/Rocker
- Core: Maple/Aspen
- Tail: Twin Tip
- Turn Radius: Short
