Surface Chronicle vs Surface Outsider
Skis comparison — 2014-2015 season
Compare two models
How they compare
Both skis are designed for freeride and powder riding. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Surface Chronicle has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Surface Outsider uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). At $129.95 vs $179.95 MSRP, the Surface Chronicle is the more budget-friendly option.
