hey everyone. so im looking at some anthems in 178cm. i am 5 9 and weigh about 120 pounds. currently i ski on 171 thrusters at center mount and have no problems. the reason i am looking at anthems is because i am looking for more of a pow oriented park ski, and a more stable ski. my question is do you think i should just wait and save money and go for 09 skis or buy the anthems. i would have to sell my thrusters and pay a bit on top just to get the skis and then also pay for bindings on top of that. i will be skiing 70% park, 20% big mountain/ pow and 10% groomers. thoughts?

huh? then why would he wait?
I don't understand.

anyways. If you want athems, pick'em up now. I think the wolf graphic is kind of amazing, so might as well go for an awesome, cheaper graphic. and you could very well be happier on a longer ski.

How badly do you need skis? Do you need skis for this season, or will you be fine with what you have now?

I dunno how well anthems will be in pow, yeah they're wide enough, but the're also centered, so it might be a bit awkward......then again I've never skied them so I dunno

mabey take a look at the blends, or ARVs, or rossi brigades
