The Chronic is a benchmark all mountain freestyle ski with the build, shape and performance that other brands try to match. This award-winning ski delivers a poppy ride that crushes big-line jump laps as well as smooth high-speed burns all over the mountain. If you want one ski to do everything well, from park to powder and all the terrain in between then the Chronic is the ski.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The Chronic is a proper all mountain option, more so than many other freestyle skis, and without any loss of performance in the park. It will pop, slide and jump as well as any of the 95mm all mountain freestyle skis, and then leave them in its spray when it's time to charge other terrain whether bumps, trees, natural hits or untouched stashes.Skier TypeSkiers who want to spend as much time on natural terrain and all mountain as they do in the park, all done on a ski with durability built-in.OverviewShape95mm underfoot is ideal for a mix of park and all mountain, wide enough to be stable and provide float when the snow is soft or rougher, narrow enough to still feel quick. The 16m (178cm) radius ensures fast turns and good performance on hard snow. A 5Cut Sidecut uses 5 different radii blended together to create a variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel. early Taper moves the widest point of the sidecut so it begins tapering earlier in the tip and tail to reduce hook ups in soft snow.Rockerearly Rise at the tip and tail lift them away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the centre of the ski. This increases the ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge.CoreThe core uses Line's legendary Maple Macroblock with 2 full length maple stringers surrounded by aspen for increased strength and durability.ConstructionFreestyle skis need to be tough and a cap construction is the best option to resist edge dings and damage, but sidewalls offer more precision. The solution on the Chronic is Capwall, with sidewall underfoot where you want the precision and a cap in the tip and tail to provide the durability and weight saving. Thin Tips help keep the weight down by using a thin core and sidewall in the tip and tail, saving 100grams a pair for reduced swing weight. The textured tougher top sheet materials resist scratches and abuse for longer, protecting the look and life of the ski. Not just great skis, but tough ones too.Key FeaturesFatty Base and edge30% thicker base and edge, 2.2mm wide x 2.5mm high steel edges and 1.7mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life of the skis.Symmetric FlexThe same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward and backwards.eB tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) These put a big smile on your face. They encourage you to stop taking it all so seriously and actually open your eyes and see what your next move will be: a pop off of a lip, a slash over a roller, a run through the park or a play just off to the side?Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1641299512013.1711299512014.5.1781299512016.1851299512017.4.General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: ShortBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Semi SidewallCore: WoodDemo: Yes [Full Details]

From Ellis Brigham
Intermediate female skiers who want to ski equally well whatever condition the piste is in, are going to love Salomon’s Stance 80 W. The shape and width combine with the woodcore and Titanal laminate to create a superbly stable ride, no matter the snow. The long nose and tail ensure no grabby turns and the waist provides a balanced platform. Clean carves in the morning on the fresh groomed slopes through to smooth, effortless turns in the afternoon when it all cuts up and many piste models start to struggle. It’ll even take you on your first adventures away from the marked trails.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Mainly pistes but not exclusively. It will be happiest on reds and blues, whatever the condition, and that’s the beauty of the Stance 80. It doesn’t need perfect snow or grooming, it has the stability and shape to feel great when the snow isn’t, which is when many other narrower skis will start to become more difficult. You can also take this for a few runs down the sides in the easier off piste.Skier TypeIntermediate piste skiers who want a balanced ski for use in a range of conditions. To achieve this they’re prepared to sacrifice some quickness edge-to-edge to gain more stability, but it’s still no slouch on firm snow as it has a nice energy about it, zipping through turns. Technique won’t be perfect yet and the Stance 80 will help them improve in a range of conditions and speeds, never over precise but with enough performance to encourage and reward good technique. To make the most of it, the skier needs the confidence or desire to tackle more than just groomed snow.OverviewShape80mm in the waist is a good size for a ski that will spend plenty time on piste and still needs to work well in a lot of other conditions, narrow enough so it’s still relatively quick edge-to-edge and with the width to be stable on rougher conditions. The nose and tail both have a long transition to where the sidecut starts, meaning the ski has quite a short radius so that it feels quick to turn on piste. This shape works well with the rocker so that the turn initiation is predictable and safe on soft or variable snow, and the turn completion is smooth and easy to switch between carving or sliding.RockerAll Terrain Rocker uses rock at the tip with an early rise tail and camber underfoot. This ensures smooth handling in softer snow with good turn initiation and release, with grip and control on firm conditions.CoreThe Poplar Woodcore offers stability, liveliness and forgiveness while ensuring good ski-to-snow contact.ConstructionMix of sidewall and cap. The sidewall underfoot ensures good grip and precision; the cap at the tip and tail increases durability and aids with some forgiveness at the start and end of the turn.Key FeaturesTi-C FrameThe Ti-C Frame combines carbon windows and a Titanal laminate to create a damp, charging ski that inspires confidence regardless of speed, terrain, or conditions.eB tester’s comments: Claire (Milton Keynes) I was really impressed with how this ski held its edge on the hard piste that we had but also how it cut through the rougher snow without throwing me off.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1511228010412166015912380105131780General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: ShortBindings: Integrated, M10 GWDIN: 3 - 10Construction: Semi SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]
For Armada, doing things differently has always been a core value and the Stranger is the latest example of this. The goal was straightforward. Build a 15m radius ski that can tackle groomers with friends, carve hard, trick around on and just have a good time. At 100mm underfoot, featuring a straight tapered edgeless butterzone in the tip and a rockered Springboard tail for endless wheelies and extra pop, the all new Stranger merges carving with freestyle and freeride attributes.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This is a blend of piste, all mountain, freeride and freestyle. It will carve on pistes and pop out of turns, It has the width to float if things get softer or deeper and it has the handling to be comfortable on any terrain. There's no metal so it isn't ultra stiff or precise, but what stiff skis can ollie or wheelie like a Stranger? It's a wide playful piste ski that loves to turn and it's a turny directional freestyle ski. It's what you make it.Skier TypeSkiers who want to have fun “ slashing, carving, popping, in any condition that the average resort throws up. Ability is less of factor, mindset is the key. It's just about having fun.OverviewShapeA long tapered nose combines rocker and an edgeless tip to produce smooth turn initiation and unflappable handling. It might be 100mm in the waist but the radius is still 15m so it will happily push out tight linked carves. It's aided by the springboard tail for extra energy and pop. The tips and tails are actually firmer than the middle section, helping the ski grip in and out of turn, with softness in the centre meaning it's easy to switch turn size and mix it up.RockerAR Freestyle Rocker uses rockered tips and tails combined with positive camber underfoot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so.CoreArmada's Poplar Ash Core uses lightweight poplar combined with higher density full-length ash stringers to create an impossibly lively ski that has all the power needed for boosting.ConstructionAR75 Sidewalls use a blend of sidewall and cap for the right mix of precision, forgiveness and durability. Cap in the tip and tail reduces the swing weight for quicker spins; sidewall underfoot improves the energy transfer.Key Featuresedgeless TipThe front of the ski uses a straight-tapered butterzone with the edge removed. No edge at the tip makes butters and presses cleaner and easier, as well as reducing the weight for smoother faster steering.2.5 Impact edgeOversized and specially heat treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations.Springboard TailFor endless wheelies and extra pop.eB tester's comments: Steve (Buying Team) Loved this. Just a fun experience to ski around on, carving easily and wanting to pop and slash.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)17213810012015.2200018013910012115.82100General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Semi SidewallCore: WoodDemo: YesSizing Description: Forehead to over head height.
