So its time for new skis and its come down to these 2. Length would be 171. I ride 100% park unless its a pow day then I'm in the trees. I like a light ski for spinning onto rails and such, but floaty and solid is good too which is why I consider the anthems. opinions?

Athems would be perfect, its a very fat (92 or something) width, and its very light, its trues twin tip so you can mount them either way, fat so on powder days you'll flout

and stiffer, anthems would be better in pow methinks.

but we're both just speculating.

Anthems. I can vouch b/c I rode them for a year. the flex and width makes them great for light soft snow. They are snappy and turny like woah. Great for trees and groomers. Kill it in the park.. and this year they have a carbon ollie band. It'd be interesting to see the difference.

pretty ok, but it takes a little getting used to. If you've ridden an invader in pow, its pretty much the same. Just don't lean forward.

I love my ar6 so much. Its such a nice ski for park and everywhere else. I honestly dont think that you need a 92 waist to ski park. idk i think it would be to clunky for rails n shit.
