ski impressions
What are your impressions of the performance and ride quality of this ski?
CHRONIC101 is light enough that it doesn't feel bulky, and has just the right amount of flex that isn't too hard or too soft, allowing for stable gliding even at high speeds!
It's stable both in the park and during take-off and landing, and it has great maneuverability that doesn't make you feel like it's 101mm thick!

What kind of people is this ski recommended for?
Recommended for those who want to do powder, park, gravity, and free runs all in one machine!
boots impression
What are your impressions of the performance and comfort of these boots?
I mainly use them for park work, and I think they're great boots that allow you to try out a variety of movements with confidence, as they have a high degree of freedom for your ankles, and yet hold them firmly in place.
In addition to that, please tell us what you like about these boots, such as the design or one point.
I really like the design because it's the same as the board and has a black base!
The color is simple, red and black, so I think it's easy to match with a variety of boards and clothing.

Binding impressions
What are your impressions of the performance and feel of this binding?
Just right for my weight and power. For those of me who don't use walk mode (pins can be used) boots, this tour binding has the perfect weight to prevent slipping, and I also like how simple and easy it is to handle. It doesn't come off strangely. You can ski with peace of mind and confidence.
In addition to that, please let us know what you like about this binding, such as its design or other points.
Every year, for some reason, the colors go well with the boards and boots.
What kind of people do you think this binding is recommended for?
People who value the feeling of sliding. People who don't like the metal fittings opening at odd times. People who want to freely expand the range of their skating performance. People with boots that don't have walk mode or can't use pins.
Please tell me where to install the binding and why.
Brand recommended position. This is because the board has a high degree of perfection. Even if you are the type of rider who rarely finds it difficult to ride, you can easily improve your skating technique and adaptability by adapting your gliding to that.
