The 2025 Line Chronic 101 with Marker Griffon 13 ID Bindings is a versatile all-mountain freestyle setup designed to excel from early morning mountain explorations to afternoon park sessions. With a focus on durability and confidence-inspiring performance, the Chronic 101 is well-suited for summit-to-park skiing, offering impressive performance across various applications. Whether you're hitting a rail jam or navigating a ridgeline, the Chronic 101 is ready to perform. We paired the Chronic 101 with the Marker Griffon 13 ID because of the Griffon’s precision and reliability for all mountain and freeride skiers. With a robust construction and all the best tech, the Griffon 13 is a popular high-performance binding choice for wider-bodied skis for good reason.

Why we like it:

The Chronic 101 shines with its blend of freeride and freestyle versatility. Its sturdy yet playful flex pattern allows skiers to translate their park skills across the entire mountain without compromising on all-mountain performance.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to expert freeride skiers seeking a single ski that can handle both summit-to-park resort skiing and a variety of technical terrain will find the Chronic 101 an excellent choice.

Highlights:

The Chronic 101 features an Aspen Veneer wood core made of narrow aspen stringers, resulting in a robust yet playful flex pattern ideal for all-mountain versatility and freestyle creativity. Thick Cut Sidewalls enhance stiffness and durability underfoot, providing excellent edge grip on firm snow and impact protection for park features. Thin Tip technology in the tips and tails reduces excess material to lower swing weight, facilitating easier maneuvering and spin tricks. As we’ve come to expect from Marker, there’s no shortage of tech packed into the Griffon 13 binding. Marker’s Triple Pivot Elite Toe and Inter-pivot 3 Freeride Heel systems work in tandem to provide improved edge grip and control, as well as helping to mitigate vibrations for a smooth ride. A cleverly placed anti-ice rail sits on top of the toepiece and can be used to scrape off those pesky clumps of snow and ice that accumulate on the sole of your boot. With Multinorm (MN) boot compatibility, the Griffon 13 is a versatile and reliable choice for a huge range of skiers and applications.

Things to consider:

While the Chronic 101 offers impressive versatility, it may not be as supportive or powerful as some other skis in its category. However, it excels in park performance compared to more supportive 100 mm all-mountain skis.
